NASA's job is to observe the Earth, to tell us factually what is happening to our planet.

I certainly disagree with the idea that you're going to zero out the education program and EPSCoR, and I hope that this subcommittee will be persuaded that that's not the right direction to go in.

This isn't the time to cut back on NASA's Earth observations.

Now, closing our eyes to what's happening to our planet doesn't mean that it's not happening, and people in my State of New Hampshire have no doubt that the climate is changing because in the Granite State, we see it every day.

Well, it seems foolish to me to refuse to spend $1.7 million, which is what processing and analyzing that data would continue to cost, when we've already made this huge investment in it.

We've got an infrastructure problem, and we've got to address it.
