Duncan Hunter: “We think that this has been one of the most legislatively ambitious chairmanships of this subcommittee.”

But don't spend $18 billion that way. Spend it where it has the most effect, which is the U.S. Coast Guard.

I respectfully urge the Speaker to immediately schedule this important bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not recognized for debate. ____________________

Is there a kind of symposium that the Coast Guard has every year?

The 2013 National Space Transportation Policy calls for the use of U.S. rockets for U.S. government payloads, with some minor exceptions that perhaps should be revisited anyway.
