$132 billion still outstanding.

A recent Treasury report dispute this notion, stating that it is not a TARP program.

It has got to be done right; otherwise, it could cause havoc in the marketplace, could it not?

A lot of people warned that it would create a TARP II bailout.

$68 billion. So that is a long way from being a break-even place, isn't it?

Do you have some data on that?

Don't forget a balanced approach.

What we want to do is create jobs, sustain jobs, isn't it?

Our Nation continues to face an unemployment rate more than 8 percent, the longest stretch of high unemployment in this Nation since the Great Depression.

These rules, I believe, are clearly not meant to reform the program but, some people believe, to shutter it.

I have several concerns about the cost per student, program performance evaluations, and employment outcomes over the life of a Job Corps participant.

We need to ensure that DOL is using its funds effectively and efficiently and that Americans are receiving the training they need to re-enter the labor force.

Do you understand that these rules, as we understand it, and they are being implemented, will kill American jobs, not create them?

If these groups were counted, the real unemployment rate would be 14.9 percent.

Well, there should be fairness, and people ought to go by the law. And you have to root out fraud and everything else.

I'm very concerned that NASA seems to be abandoning its plan to abide by the Federal acquisition regulations (FAR) in the commercial crew program and instead continue to use Space Act agreements.

When is this administration going to get the message that the Congress, I believe, is not willing to subsidize so-called commercial vendors at the expense of NASA's core mission of engineering and exploration?

But isn't some of the program, it seems to a lot of people, to be a march away from NASA--in other words, into the private sector and vendors--rather than what NASA has proven over many years to have?

Pleased with the steady progress of U.S. commercial providers in developing domestic cargo and crew transportation services.

I believe that the core mission of NASA is to build cutting-edge systems that will allow us to expand our knowledge of the universe.

This administration, I believe, seems to think that NASA's job is to use taxpayer money as venture capital to support speculative commercial companies.

You plan to utilize that then.

More prevalent maybe?

Two key DOJ facilities will soon be operating on Redstone Arsenal: The FBI's Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC), and the ATF's National Center for Explosives Training Research (NCETR).

Well, I want to go to another question. People make mistakes and pay for it, I guess.
