I am confident that he would agree with me that we must do more to alleviate our deficit and accumulated debt.

It is a privilege to be with you to highlight and discuss local STEM education programs and partnerships.

Mr. Lipinski and I may disagree on certain policy issues, but I am confident he would agree with me that we must do more to alleviate our deficit.

The Subcommittee on Research and Science Education will come to order.

I look to my colleague, Mr. Lipinski, and my fellow Subcommittee members on both sides of the aisle to work with us.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

While in fiscal year 2011, NASA's budget was $18.4 billion. In fiscal year 2012, it looks like it is going be $17.77 billion...

I yearn for the day where we no longer have to thumb a ride with the Russians.

the President's FY 2013 budget is an irresponsible pie-in-the-sky wish list that fails to take into account America's deteriorating financial condition

everything we do has to be tempered in that regard.

I have to temper that somewhat, though, with the very difficult financial condition our country is in.
