The advent of new futures approved just last year for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies seem to have taken up the headlines recently.

Good morning, and the subcommittee will come to order.

But the concern that many of us has is about the frequency of hypersonic testing from Russia and China.

If I understand correctly, part of the equation is whether a weapon goes into exoatmospheric.

I send to the desk a privileged concurrent resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the concurrent resolution, as follows: H. Con. Res. 101 Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That…

I appreciate, again, the bipartisan cooperation that went into crafting this bill. It is very important. Mr. Chair, I would ask my colleagues to support this legislation.

Thank you for your testimony. I think we have the information we need as we move forward in this process of appropriations.

Some Members, such as myself, voted for the NASA authorization bill in 2010 with the understanding that SLS and Orion would be supported by the administration with a launch date of late 2017 or early 2018.

Well, let me say, again, public-private partnerships are good when the private investment is openly reported. And I think that at the bottom line we want to protect the taxpayer.

Let me say, I think that public-private partnerships are good when the private investment is openly reported and when the taxpayer is protected by realtime penalties instead of possible discounts for a service that will be in the future.

After all, it is my understanding it is possible to put penalties into contracts.

The House Select Panel on Infant Lives, has forwarded 15 regulation and criminal referrals to DOJ regarding blatant violations of Federal statutes by Planned Parenthood and affiliated organizations.

As Chair of the Subcommittee on Nutrition, I would just ask for your continued support for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

I would express my support for the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative that I strongly believe needs continued funding.

We look forward to working with you, as we move forward in the process

The ability to maintain those funding levels is going to be critical if we are going to be able to produce a reauthorization of the Farm Bill

This rule would fundamentally and negatively change the way that livestock and poultry are marketed in this country

The Circuit Rider Program is very important.

Thank you, and thank you, Mr. Young, for asking that question.

Your input will be critical as we go forward and we fund the work of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

We are here today to listen to a bipartisan group of Members from all parts of the country.

We appreciate the work that you do with Farm Credit Administration and your service there.

I want to follow up on a question that my colleague, Mr. Ryan, had asked.
