Madam President, I know we have returned to H.R. 4213. It is my intention to call up amendment No. 3335, sponsored by myself, Senator Cochran, Senator Wicker, and Senator Vitter. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the pending…

They have written a very lengthy letter saying why the amendment I am offering is so important. In addition, I am happy to say, today we got a very strong editorial in the New York Times, which does not always write favorably about some…

Fannie and Freddie were a core part of what went wrong in our system.

Mr. Speaker, the same team that brought America the job- killing, tax-hiking cap-and-tax legislation appears to be at it again. Just last week Representatives Waxman and Markey began committee action aimed towards giving the EPA…

This budget, as the Chairman very correctly noted, is a budget without a mission.

The very lifeblood and continued relevance of our Nation's proud and pioneering space program hangs in the balance.

Again, I just disagree. I believe the consensus opinion reaction to this budget is that it is a radical departure.

Yes. I appreciate the gentleman, Dr. Broun. Absolutely, that's the working capital for small businesses. You add to that that there will be as much as an 8 percent payroll tax for businesses that heretofore could not afford health care…

Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlelady from Florida (Ms. Ros-Lehtinen).

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I might consume. Mr. Speaker, I would like to first of all thank Mr. Skelton, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, and also Mr. McKeon, the ranking member, and other Members who have supported…

Mr. Speaker, in the midst of the worst recession in over a generation, this administration continues to advance its job-killing climate agendas. For instance, the recent EPA endangerment finding is particularly disturbing. This reckless…

I will be a strong, fierce, and active opponent of that, should that be proposed.

I absolutely believe that this budget and the vision it represents would end our human spaceflight program as we know it.

Mars is the focus of our design reference mission.

President Kennedy didn't say, 'We're going to spend several billion dollars and do some really neat R&D.'

I absolutely want seventh-graders to think about Mars, because that is the sort of thing that will inspire them.

I believe this new budget is a big step backward, because of the, you know, fundamental problems I've tried to underscore.
