Our Constitution was designed and written to protect inventors, not filers. The words are very clear. ``Inventor'' is in the Constitution, ``filers'' is not in the Constitution. So why are we having this dispute about the constitutionality…

These multinational corporations, they're creating jobs overseas. They don't care if the jobs are lost here. The America Invents Act--here's Hoover Institution again--the America Invents Act would inject massive uncertainty into the patent…

I agree with the gentleman's assessment. Out of respect for the judgment of the chairman and his desire to make sure that the full interim report that the Congress has on this issue is studied and that the Defense Department finishes that…

My amendment focuses on an issue that reflects a concern not only for our national security, but also for the prosperity of our country. I would like to thank the chairman and ranking member for agreeing to discuss this important issue…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of subtitle C of title XII of division A of the bill, add the following: SEC. 12XX. AUTHORITY TO…

Thank God we have at least one forum that is presenting the other side today.

Everything has some impact. It is whether or not it has a major impact.

This is a very significant issue, and deserves the type of honest debate that--we have seen some of that here today.

What we have needed in this issue is an honest debate and an honest discussion.

You can't dismiss someone as a mascot.

Asking people whether or not they have received any money... is an attempt to basically steer away from the arguments.

Is it possible that perhaps developing refueling techniques and other such approaches to deep space exploration might be a better use or a better method of getting to space exploration rather than just building a big booster?

I would hope that as we plan through this committee process that we have got our strategy for the future...

What we have here is a space policy designed by committee, not just this Committee but the committee made up of the Senate and the Executive Branch and people in the private sector.

You're someone who says ``billions of dollars'' and ``Afghanistan'' both. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the resolution and in support of our military personnel who are putting their lives in jeopardy in Afghanistan. They are doing…

It is now up to us in Congress to stand up for those Americans in uniform who will be needlessly giving their lives to accomplish a mission that cannot be accomplished. If it can't be done, we should not be sending them over there. The…

That a recipient of U.S. aid would treat our people in such a way is shocking and should suggest that we take a close look at the fundamentals of who we give our aid to and whether or not they are our friends or whether they are treating…

I will be trying my best to see that Honduras doesn't get one penny until it deals with the property expropriations of Americans in Honduras.

Unless we make some very serious reforms and change the direction of our country, all of our people will suffer.

There is no reason in the world why we shouldn't be working with other countries in that same way.

With that type of policy our currency will collapse within a short period of time.

We need to reexamine everything including defense.

We can't give away money that we don't have.

We are having to borrow 40 cents on every dollar that we spend.

Your--the work you do is so important for our country, and perhaps that is one of the reasons why we have to pay attention to make sure the money is being channeled in the right direction.
