Are you looking at this program related to the digital coupons not only to help our people be able to afford the conversion?

It's rewritten every textbook that's been out there in astronomy and cosmology, and to some extent, in physics as well.

Let me say why I'm raising this.

I think President Obama has made an excellent choice in selecting you.

But when you look at the importance of what we do, things like Hubble, the International Space Station, our exploration program, our climate observing, observing the Earth, the dynamic Earth, all of these things are so very important to…

Do you mean every agent doesn't have what everybody else has?

We are so proud, here, in this subcommittee, that we fund 80 percent of all climate change science.

So it is just not an inventory about a person and what did he do and how bad he is and what we should do.

And there is no contingency plan beyond that, except, 'If we get to it, we'll deal with it?'

Dr. Johnson will effectively implement President Obama's priorities of developing clean energy and addressing global warming.
