"It astounds me that the U.S. will lose its ability to put astronauts into space just as we are completing the International Space Station."

"Last year then Senator Obama noted that the Bush Administration had underfunded NASA."

"In last year's authorization bill, we emphasized the importance of the ISS as a National Laboratory."

"Sometimes NASA does not want itself to be helped. We have got to get our act together."
