We need to look forward to doing that communication.

We don't have a national police force. America doesn't want it. But we have an FBI that provides national resources and deals with Federal crime.

I'm committed to working with you and the chair to ensure that we're targeting limited resources in a manner that safeguards taxpayer dollars while preserving public safety.

And a presence, that the FBI is not the KGB.

Your goal was to send astronauts to the space station on U.S. rockets by 2017.

Let me start by saying that I am unhappy with NASA's budget.

There are many more questions to be asked, but we're now going to move to our classified hearing.

I don't want to be beating a dead satellite here, but Earth science is $56 million below fiscal year 2014.

One priority is to create more jobs. The other is to retain the jobs we have, and even the possibility of bringing jobs back home from overseas.

I think it was organized in the way our priorities are in terms of our national security threats, our criminal threats, support to our partners, particularly in our country, and those that are around the world.

Frankly, my colleagues and I do not agree with how NASA's proposed budget balances these cuts.

Both she and then Senator Cantwell... have spent a lot of time really on what is happening to Native Americans in this country and particularly the women and the children.

We are worried about protecting 'dot mil,' okay? I think 'dot gov' is very nifty.

NOAA is important to all of us who are coastal Senators.

we want to protect the Constitution, we want to protect the people against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

The Federal Government has spent more than $600 billion on IT investments over the last decade.

certainty of the funding, that at least you'll get paid for the work you do and not sent home as nonessential

Many of us actually read these reports.
