On the recordMay 12, 2010
Madam Speaker, I say to my good friend, Congressman Broun, that he has forgotten that this bill satisfies the PAYGO rules which CBO has scored at zero, so that there is not an increase, a rule that my friends on the Republican side of the aisle eliminated, which helped drive up the debt of this country. And I would just say to my friend, the investments that are being made in science and technology and in the education of scientists and engineers and mathematicians is the kind of investment for the long- term health of this country that has to be made right now. I yield to my friend from California (Ms. Matsui) 2 minutes.
