The NASA IV&V facility provides an invaluable service to the nation to ensure that software safety, reliability, and quality for NASA and NASA-led missions meet the highest standards to ensure mission success of multi-billion programs.

I'm deeply concerned about this elimination in funding. We're going to work, I think you've heard from others, to restore these cuts because I think it could have a chilling effect on the educational programs that NASA is offering all…

Isn't it more important than ever now, I think, to bolster the resilience of our assets in LEO while also enhancing NASA's capability at lowering operational costs by demonstrating the ability to refuel these satellites?

I think we need to rethink this strategy, and I'm going to be working on that I think across the aisle and with the Chair.

Russia is really testing the leadership and resolve of the West.

It's time for the Congress, and not the President, to lead the American response to Russia's cyber attack on the United States.

It's inconceivable to me that any of President Trump's predecessors would deny the gravity of such an open attack on our democratic system.

It would be a grave mistake of President Trump to veto such a bill.

The rhetoric coming from our White House under this Administration, has it caused our NATO allies to start moving toward contributing two percent to the defense spending?

I think it goes back to what, Mr. Sarts, you just had said. They have been controlling their people by misinforming them, by basically not giving them the facts, giving them what they want them to know.

The President has shown that he's unwilling to act against Russia.

I hope the House of Representatives will back and not dilute in this sense the very strong Senate sanctions bill against Moscow that you passed by a 97-to-2 margin two weeks ago.

There's been reports--it's open source--that Putin was directly involved giving direction in the United States elections, the last presidential election.

It is his duty--President Trump's--to be skeptical of Russia.

the most significant one, not the only one, is this deliberate action by the Russians.

Absolutely, I will always give my honest assessment with complete integrity of the intelligence process.

I think the proximate cause was Russian hostility.

As a matter of fact, when this whole effort started it wasn't targeted at one party or the other.
