At the nomination hearing for Governor Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kan.) as Health Secretary, former Senator Robert Dole (R-Kan.), told the Senate Finance Committee, “It would really help if you could get her confirmed before the recess. She can’t even get into the building and we are a little behind anyway and this is the issue of the year. So if you guys can all, you know, do something.”

Chairman Baucus laughing at Dole’s comments, said, “You are absolutely right and that’s why we are having this hearing. So we can get her confirmed this week.”
