These limitations stand in the way of scientists and engineers collaborating with businesses or investors to take their ideas to the next level.

Low dose radiation research is a critical field that can provide important insights into the biological response of cells to low levels of ionizing radiation.

It lets small businesses use their funds where they know they're needed the most.

I'm happy to serve as the lead Democratic cosponsor of this small but very important research bill.

We do not want to ask NIST or any other agency to take on the vital task of assuring our Federal agencies have prepared their networks to be safe but then provide it with the manpower, funding, expertise or knowledge to do the job right…

I also--I mention my support for the next two bills that we are going to be considering.

I want to thank you, and I want to concur with your comments and Ranking Member Johnson's comments.

This bill aims to expand participation in I-Corps without a significant increase in funding.

This bill recognizes the rocket propulsion work of the Marshall Space Flight Center.

I've been the leading advocate--putting it mildly--for the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps or I-Corps program since its inception.

This amendment would build on the SBIR/STTR program by requiring that funds be directed for a proof of concept partnership pilot program.

The I-Corps program has been one of the most remarkable, maybe the most remarkable program that I have seen in my time here in Congress for what it's been able to do to tap into the great research that is being done at our--you know, at…

I hope we can continue to work to perfect this as the bill moves ahead.

Thank you for bringing forth these bipartisan bills today.

I appreciate your leadership and support of the I-Corps program.

I completely agree. I thank the witnesses for your testimony. I think all of you did a very good job of explaining the real need for regulatory relief when it comes to academic research and the regulations.

It seems common sense to hire from CTI graduates and veterans first.

We need to figure this out. We cannot have... potential shortages of air traffic controllers.

I think Mr. Hultgren's bill that I worked with him on, H.R. 1964, is the best way to go about doing this.

We need this system to work. I think the region needs to come up with a dedicated funding source for Metro.

I started a few years ago in here the first Congressional Public Transportation Caucus because of how important it is that we support public transit across the country.

I think Metro in so many ways is unfortunately an embarrassment in our Nation's Capital.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chair, I rise to thank Ranking Member Smith and Chairman Thornberry for an amendment that was included in one of the prior en bloc groups of amendments. The amendment that I joined Mr. Pompeo in…
