It is actually a difference of $276 million.

As Senator Nelson said, people will get healthcare when they need it, and it's going to be less expensive in the long run.

we just have an obligation to try to help people.

why should there be a country as advanced as ours that, of the 300 million people, 45 million people do not have health insurance

The perception of the President's position did not, in this Senator's opinion, do justice to the President in the way that the budget was rolled out.

there have been plenty of messages that have been sent to the overseers--which is this committee--that certain elements of NASA and other parts of the Administration intend to follow their own directions instead of the law.

NASA itself has two sayings that I think are relevant to the topic of today's hearing. The first is to 'show results soonest.'

One of the President's major goals that he stated in the speech down at the Kennedy Space Center is that in order to be able to have the NASA of the future, you have got to modernize the facilities that in fact are used to launch the space…

that was not the intent that the President was trying to convey.

NASA really needs to pay attention to the report and really examine the accountability processes it has.

What is at stake is very, very important, and that is the future of our American space program.

Thank you, Senator Cantwell.

there was a huge plus-up in the aeronautics part of this budget, some $422 million, which was a substantial percentage increase for the aeronautics.

NASA is eager to get started on that journey of exploration, both on our home planet and in the stars above.

The Administration looks forward to continuing to work with Congress to achieve our shared goals and ambitions in space.

I believe it is imperative that the persons within the agency's management responsible for causing all this discord be immediately identified and removed.

Now, more than ever, is the time for a new way of doing business--a results-oriented and cost-effective way forward.

We have every intention of flying that flight.
