One example we should be particularly proud of is the NASA Ames Research Center Project.

I know these Contracts work because I have seen them work in my own district.

Energy Savings Performance Contracts, or ESPCs, are truly a win-win-win tool for the federal government and the U.S. taxpayer.

Not too mindless, that you and I, Mr. Broun, couldn't fix it.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 37, line 7, after the dollar amount insert ``(reduced by $97,500,000) (increased by $97,500,000)''. The Acting CHAIR…

I believe education should always be a national obsession but a local possession, and relying on local stakeholders, I think, can really guide us.

So I think the short-term solution for that of course is comprehensive immigration reform. That includes increasing the H-1B visas.

I think the evidence is clear from all of the witnesses that right now in the United States we are facing a shortage of high-skilled workers in technology, advanced manufacturing that our employers are just not able to fill.

Is there a goal to have all of the data that FEMA puts out in a open-source format that can be accessed by all?

At the last hearing we heard from private-sector witnesses that although social media has allowed us to make great strides in how we respond to disasters or emergencies, the lack of uniform open-source data standards hindered the abilities…

In your testimony, you discussed FEMA's efforts to stop the spread of misinformation through its rumor-control website, and to me this sounds a lot like a website I use called Snopes.

This hearing is very timely because at the crash scene, we saw first-hand the role that social media can play.

I would first like to begin by extending my sympathies to those who died or were injured during the plane crash at San Francisco International Airport on this past Saturday and to their families.

The transfer out makes us more efficient, can reduce healthcare costs, and also more importantly, especially in our area, it can create private-sector jobs on top of the thousands of jobs that already exist at our laboratories.

I appreciate your comments about providing more certainty to our national laboratories.

Can you tell me more about Livermore's work to address industrial and medical research needs?

Going toward a more leaner and meaner model, right?

Vote for me, vote against me, but just give me certainty.

A focus of today's hearing is the development of an exascale computing capability.

Many of the most pressing issues of our time can be solved through investments in high-performance computing.

I am excited to learn more about the work that the DOE is doing in partnership with industry and our national laboratories.

I have always believed whether it was as a local city councilman or a sitting Member of Congress that the government works best when we can share our resources with the private sector.

It doesn't serve anyone any good if we are just doing the research in the government and not transferring that research out to the private sector.

I have never been one to believe that the government should be the only one at the table when it comes to innovation.
