On the recordNovember 12, 2003
The veterans need this bill. We need it to protect America's environment. We need it to empower communities, and we need to invest in science and technology that helps us come up with new ideas for the new products that are going to lead to new jobs right here in the United States of America. The Presiding Officer knows about the loss of jobs in our country and the way we are going to not only have the jobs today, but also the jobs of tomorrow, is by coming up with these new products. We know we win the Nobel Prizes, but now we have to start winning the markets. I am so pleased to bring the VA-HUD bill to the Senate floor with my dear colleague, Senator Bond. This is truly a bipartisan bill.
