Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This bill adequately funds the Space Launch System, the rocket which will carry the Orion capsule into space, and I am grateful for that. It adequately funds exploration ground systems, which are essential to…

I think that, clearly, they reflect that there has been some misleading information put forth in objecting to this bill, and I urge my colleagues to take that into consideration and to vote favorably for this badly needed historic and…

There is a similar letter, and I will submit that also. It is by Dennis J. Burnett, District of Columbia Bar Association; J.D., University of Nebraska; LL.M., Georgetown University; Adjunct Professor of Law, University of Nebraska College…

I thank the majority leader for yielding. Mr. Chairman, earlier this morning, during debate, there have been a number of letters--a litany of letters--by various organizations offered for the Record, so I thought it would be appropriate…

I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the rule and the underlying legislation. Despite some of the comments we have heard from across the aisle this morning, I remember my first 2 years, my…
