That's got the biggest applause going yet.

I think you're breaking history books in terms of lives saved, and it's an unparalleled seamless network.

I mean, you know, we make much of evidence-based medicine, and I think we're all there. We can't afford to waste time or dollars.

we continue our rigorous oversight and accountability to make sure taxpayers' dollars are spent wisely and to acknowledge the fact that we need to focus on a more frugal Government.

First of all, we need to compliment NASA for achieving for the first time since 2002 a clean financial audit.

I'm troubled that the budget does not invest adequately in future missions, the highest science priorities that are identified by the National Academies in their decadal surveys.

As chairwoman, I have three priorities for NASA.

Thank you. It was moving from the bagel line to the broccoli line.

As chairwoman, I have three priorities for NASA: make sure we have a balanced space program that will make NASA move forward with the programs that the Congress has authorized and funded.

this ongoing hazing, harassment, snarky comments, throwaway one-liners, and so on.

the prevention money has been used as a bank to fund other things

But why gang up on them? Why try to single them out?
