Yes, I met with the National Retail Federation in June to discuss how we could do more together.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your courtesy and your attention.

The Palm Bay Parkway is well underway with planning by Brevard County, the city of Palm Bay, the city of Melbourne, and the Melbourne Airport Authority in full concert.

Thank you, Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Duncan, for the opportunity to come before you and share with you some of the needs for east central Florida.

Hey guys, I just want you to know that you have made the spring in the step of every American a little bit bouncier by what you all have accomplished.

this is really an incredible amount of talent, and also, talent and dedication and courage and diligence.

Hey guys, I wish I were up there with you.

Unfortunately, these gains don't continue into the future, and this is where we're deeply troubled.

The Senate is a wonderful institution, we've actually had three astronaut Senators--John Glenn, Jake Garn, and Bill Nelson.

It's for $18.7 billion--$1 billion above the omnibus level--and also, NASA has received $1 billion in the American recovery stimulus package.

I really want to pay tribute to both Senator Glenn... he was a learned counselor and adviser to help me really understand the breadth and depth of the American Space Program.

I believe we can probably obtain that information. Is that accurate?

Let us get that distributed to the subcommittee for our review.

I also want to pay tribute to Senator Jake Garn... we worked together to do many sound things to achieve a balanced space program.

what these new lens, these new computers, these new instruments on Hubble are going to do for us, is help us gaze out even further, to sample cosmic rays and understand in greater detail, what is this infinite place called the universe…

That's how you come to the percentage cleanup that you're going to achieve?

You have to have somebody on the ground who does that and somebody who is a professional in doing that.

It is what this Nation needs. It is what Florida has been fortunate to have.
