Bill Nelson actually said...

"the sequester, thanks to Senator Shelby, did not happen on NASA."

"I want to thank you, Administrator Bolden, for your service to our country and your appearance before the Subcommittee today."

"I see NASA's budget as a strategic portfolio of investments aimed at improving the well-being of our country and of our civilization."

"I would hope that there is opportunity for NASA to work with DOD on a propulsion system that benefits both defense and civil space."
