I want to welcome the administrator and thank you for coming to the subcommittee and for your testimony.

I guess I am curious, what is the problem we are trying to solve here.

What is our plan B here?

Because I happen to think the administration made a mistake when they canceled the Constellation program and surrendered near-space manned space flight as a government function to the Russians and Chinese.

I think our air traffic controllers do a fantastic job. And it has to be just a really tough job.

If you don't know, then how can you justify the $200 million increase?

How can you not know how much it costs to administer a Section 8 voucher?

It is a wonderful goal, but there is no basis for your request.

My concern is we have turned over our responsibilities in Congress by not doing the oversight of these agencies.

You know, this has not obviously passed Congress. The hopes of getting that done probably are not very bright at this point.

I think there needs to be a rebalancing here without compromising the capacity for producers to have this risk management tool.
