You know, we have got to say to the Speaker and to the other Republicans in this Chamber, you know, they need to do their job on this thing. This isn't just something that is peanuts. This goes to the heart of what America is all about…

Part of me feels like a lot of this budget was written by the Office of Management and Budget.

I think this Committee has been... pretty solid in wanting to support the mission.

I want to get our astronauts to Mars by 2033.

I thank my friend from Pennsylvania for the history lesson he just reminded us about. His words are ones that I don't think I can add anything to. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. Huffman), my friend, if he has…

My fear is after these big tax cuts that we just passed of $1 trillion, $500 billion at best and maybe $2 trillion, that your Department is going to be under siege to just cut like crazy.

I don't care how we get there; just get there by 2033, if not a lot earlier.

As financial technology and practices have changed, our policies and security also must adapt to strengthen our financial system and keep America safe.

One of the most effective tools we have to combat both international and domestic threats is to cutoff the funding of bad actors.

Despite our political differences, our parties, different parties, I am convinced Bridenstine will lead the brilliant scientists, engineers, technicians, and outstanding personnel at NASA as it embarks on a new era of space exploration and…

The President just openly talking about nuclear arms and building of stockpiles and all of that stuff, there's real danger there, and we all know that, and that rhetoric is dangerous

The low cost of these attacks can be challenging to our current antiterrorism financial protocols.

In recent years, we have seen a rise in lone-actor terrorist attacks.

We have, because of aggressive actions taken by the Russians in Ukraine and elsewhere, that the department continue to apply those, where appropriate, where lawful, and where necessary.

And I would just impress on you, sir, we need to get this handled.

In Colorado, I want to thank you. We were in the real dumps 8 years ago--10 percent unemployment, housing crashing with foreclosures through the roof. In my district, we are at 2.1 percent unemployment; the State, generally, 2.3 percent.

You must be doing an okay job because I have listened to my friends, my Republican friends, who generally have very crisp, sharp, piercing, probing, and accusatory questions. They don't have those today because things are going pretty well.

I thank the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Maxine Waters) for yielding me time. I rise in opposition to H.R. 10, the ``Bad'' CHOICE Act, which brings back the Wild West to our financial markets and hurts consumers. It is a bad choice…

So today, I introduced the Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act, which was formerly the Marijuana Business Access to Banking Act.

If we can't--and the number that was given to us was about $200 billion, maybe 250 over 17 years to get to Mars.

We find more common ground on this Committee than any of the other committees I've served on in this Congress.

I apologize for that because we haven't given you the steady support.

I expressed to them my disappointment that we hadn't gotten to Mars by now.

Many of these loans were to the renewable industry because of fear that our climate is just getting worse and worse and worse.
