I hope that your efforts will complement the Teaching American History Grant Program that is already in place.

Young Americans deserve to learn about the Constitution, Bill of Rights, our Founding Fathers, Federalism...

I am pleased with that.

I think it is just absolutely essential that we renew our commitment to the shuttle and to the manned shuttle.

I do hope that as things are beginning to come out, as this is beginning to come to closure, that you are going to come back to us with a system of communications from the bottom to the top.

I have never seen a sadder face on any person than I saw on you following the Columbia accident.

I am inclined certainly to support a voluntary program if, in fact, it will work.

Are you satisfied that, as part of this program, that there will be sufficient standardized reporting systems to prevent double counting and other such problems?

The V-22 will save American lives in all military operations, including the global war on terrorism.

I look forward to working with you to ensure that our nuclear weapons facilities receive the proper funding and resources they need.
