If other countries are doing this, then we should start a trade action against them.

We may end up being just an assembler of aviation products rather than the developer and lose all the jobs underneath the system.

I would hope would aggressively get behind it or something like it, because we are really losing this business.

I would like to highlight a bill I recently introduced with Senator Hollings, S.788, the Second Century of Flight Act.

It calls for a coordinator on the overall aviation research.

It seems to me Mr. Secretary that these numbers in terms of cost savings for our highway system are compelling.

I put forward a bill with Senator Hollings and the Commerce Committee, Second Century of Flight.

They are having countries come to them and saying, we will pay for the research and the development of the wing.

I would like to thank you for holding this hearing today and inviting The Honorable Secretary Mineta to testify before us.

For the life of me, I cannot understand how that is an increased safety feature when you say there are going to be more 18-wheelers on the roads instead of less.

But I have a CDL, as you probably know, Mr. Chairman.

It is a noble ambition, and one worthy of America's best efforts.

It is a very large mistake to assume that you can just hide the costs of this war from the American public.

It is incumbent on this President to outline those costs.

I will be sending an amendment to the desk that will express the sense of Senate that a commission be established to provide a real means of addressing and eliminating Government waste in domestic agencies and programs within agencies. The…

I would just note, in citing this statistic, it has been cited previously, the statistical year we have available to us, 182 partial-birth abortions were done and reported within the State of Kansas. Of those, when they asked if the…

I believe a true mark of a civilized society is not the level of human dignity it confers upon the strong or wealthy, but a true mark is on how much it confers upon the vulnerable and the oppressed. Clearly an abortion procedure that…

last week, with the help of Pakistani authorities, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was captured and taken into custody. This represents the highest ranking al Qaeda official to be apprehended in the war on terrorism and, according to some experts…

I think in looking to the future, vital and strategic is going to include more functions with it, and this is one of the functions of expanding democracy, of getting systems right.

I would hope that as we move forward, the overarching views for foreign policy that are not vital and strategic, we look at how we do our compassion and how we present that in a way that can be most empowering to the people.

One is the 12th largest economy in the world; and in the other, a third of its people are living on food aid donations.

I draw the attention of my colleagues to an event that happened yesterday which was very impressive--catching a key terrorist in Pakistan. It was the front page top story in virtually all of our newspapers around the country, probably…

I find it so odd that would be a charge brought against him. He worked for the Clinton administration, the Janet Reno Justice Department.
