What I find is really an amazing display of increased assets at the border when you look at them.

I think it is just dreadful that you cannot move a small grant to a university in 5 years.

I believe that this is an appropriate role for NASA, and I share the Presidents belief that these changes will also create jobs and benefit the domestic U.S. space industry as a whole.

I was encouraged by the administration's new vision for NASA.

Safety is and always will be NASA's first core value.

I had a very positive meeting with him, and really felt that there was a new voice in Russia.

Is it fair to interpret that answer as 'yes'?

I think a recognition that this is a different era and that all of these nuclear weapons, and the size of them, and the numbers of them, really do present jeopardy to both countries' in the long term.

So--and I am extrapolating here, and please disabuse me of the notion if it's incorrect--you are essentially saying that this new system offers a much better umbrella of protection.

I think that's correct.

I'm afraid, may be degraded.

I regret that we have ended up where we are today.

The bill would have allowed small businesses to pool their purchasing power and cross State lines to buy less expensive coverage.

President Obama said premiums for American families would decrease by $2,500 if we enacted health care reform.

Health insurance is also vital for life. It too should be strictly regulated so that people can afford this basic need.

Without further legislative action, I am concerned that health insurance companies will continue to do what they have done for far too long: put their profits ahead of people.

A lot of these companies have bought other companies, and now we're in these huge, huge for-profit companies

There is no need for Federal involvement in States with insurance commissioners that are protecting consumers.

I find this unbelievable. Imagine the typical family, or individual, trying to find the money to pay another 39 percent for health care coverage--especially during these difficult economic times, with so much uncertainty.

Birds are not only beautiful and interesting creatures eagerly welcomed by millions of Americans into their backyard every year; bird watching is also a big business.

You are all going to the Federal trial court and it's where the rubber hits the road, and it's where people come in and petition.

I would like to submit to the record a list of 24 court nominees confirmed under the Bush administration who had no prior experience as a judge.

So the question was, did she have redress? The court ruled no, and we changed that to change the law.

I absolutely do not support racial quotas. In my writings, I think I've made very clear that I believe they are unconstitutional.

Thank you very much. My time is up.
