“my point is, as we seek the truth in what happened with the tragedy of the crash of the shuttle, we will have to explore the tragedy in detail, and if we continue to press and focus on the details, the truth will emerge. If we continue to focus on the details and take the time, the truth will emerge, and when the truth emerges, if the truth is allowed to emerge, then the appropriate actions can be taken. NASA, of course, says that safety is their highest priority. There is not a person I know who ever worked for NASA or who works for NASA today or who will work for NASA in the future who does not believe that safety is important. When we explore the details, as this article does beautifully, we will be able to say: They say that, but what do they really mean? They say safety is important, but when this engineer--I believe his name is Mr. Rocha, and they go through in detail about his pleas that went unheard, his sterling reputation that was pushed aside by others who were basically ready to launch. We will find the truth. The same is going to be true in this debate with the District of Columbia on this scholarship voucher program because the details of it are very important. The details will show us the truth about what happened.”
