I congratulate you on this important bill and your excellent line-up of bipartisan co-sponsors.

We really have to figure out how we are going to get better results for less money in this new time of fiscal constraint.

At some point, we will be hit by a fiscal crisis as credit markets lose face in the U.S. political system's ability to fix the problem.

We need only ask our friends in Greece and in Ireland about that.
