“I thank our good friend, the very distinguished colleague from Ohio, for his very perceptive and persuasive comments about space programs generally and specifically about the space station. No one in this body speaks with more personal authority than Senator Glenn on these very important issues. What he has said is of great importance to all of us. I share his hope that not only all our colleagues, but people throughout this country, will listen to his comments and his heartfelt statements about the importance of space and of scientific inquiry.”
