My vote's no on this, that we not extend it, and certainly not based off of President Sarkozy's concerns.

I see no reason to concede this to the Europeans, and particularly since they've been cheating on subsidizing this aircraft.

I think this is a prime place to look at something of that nature, and I would just urge your folks to take a look at that.

I think we are doing a lot better job this time around on this than after the Vietnam era.

I would urge you to look at that and I would hope you could look at this possible joint facility at Leavenworth.

I rise in support of the FAA reauthorization bill that has been put forward by Senator Rockefeller and Senator Hutchison. Both have worked hard on this legislation. I have worked on this legislation for a number of years as well. My…

We were on the floor in December, the longest continuous session in the history of the Senate, 25 continuous days, and we were talking about this and my colleague from Nebraska and I were joined by our colleague from Utah, Senator Hatch…

I urge the Speaker not to do something like this. Listen to the American public and follow normal order. They could send this back to committee, to the Finance and the HELP Committees, work a bipartisan agreement on this, say we have to…

I appreciate my colleagues allowing me to join in this colloquy because it is incredibly important and I believe the American public believes it is incredibly important because, if for no other reason, they are looking at it and saying: We…

This funding level should be adequate to serve 10.1 million mothers and young children.

I sincerely hope, as we continue to look at these unemployment numbers, we consider this Administration's solution to the unemployment numbers as hold them accountable as to how the money is spent, if it is spent at all, as compared to how…

I never thought the day would come when I would agree with my fellow JEC member Senator Charles Schumer, but Senator Schumer is right to want to freeze stimulus spending on renewable energy grants because there is so little oversight and…

We're busting at the seams on our grade school, middle schools, with the numbers coming back in.

I think you're going to have some very irritated people in the United States of America.

I applaud the Army's new Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program, an all-inclusive approach to emotional, social, spiritual, family, and physical fitness, to build resiliency within the Army.

I wrote to you in December to raise the issue of overcrowding in schools on Fort Riley.

It seems like, to me, if you're a foreign country, and you're reading the tea leaves on this, and we--frankly, I think we've bent over backwards to try to get Airbus to bid on this.

The sooner you get on top of it, the more likely you are to be successful with your options, and the more options you generally have available.

The budget provides $1.7 billion to family programs and services and I commend the Army for making these programs an important part of its budget.

I think this military has performed very, very well.

For the last few years, the Air National Guard has been working on a program to demonstrate the capabilities of the AT-6 light attack aircraft.

Because, otherwise, you're going to get a lot of long-term problems, difficulties.

I am concerned that these programs may not survive as budgets get tighter.

And I--boy, I see that thing playing out again, if we don't get on top of it.

Tight budgets are going to force us to make the best possible use of government and military facilities.
