I want to clarify something, because I am looking at the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee-approved resolution...

I want to make sure that we are also following the recommendations that were laid out in the GSA report...

I think it offers a competitive combination, as Mr. Hoyer has indicated, that meets the requirements of the FBI.

As Mr. Hoyer has indicated, the University of Maryland, Bowie State University, also provides nationally ranked disciplines in criminal justice.

It would be helpful, perhaps not here, but to have your counsel's interpretation of that for our consideration.

I would be happy to work with him on making sure that the Beltsville agricultural property becomes the new campus of the FBI.

I would just strongly, strongly urge you to take those criticisms into consideration, and to move forward in a very different kind of way.

If we expect NASA to do great things, as I know its employees can because they do so each and every day, then let's give it the resources it needs and when it needs them.

NASA is not a business and can't operate as a business.

Chairman Palazzo, as we start our first Subcommittee hearing of the 113th Congress, I'd just like to say how much I am looking forward to working with you.

Our agency has to reflect that future.

If we expect NASA to do great things, we know that its employees have to have the kind of stability.

Thank you, Chairman Palazzo, as we begin our first Subcommittee hearing of the 113th Congress, and I just want to say how much I am looking forward to working with you and with the Members of our Subcommittee.

your passion for high-speed rail is so evident, I want you to know that there are plenty of members on this committee who share that...

We are both doing an investigation, and also doing an audit on the behavior detection, and also looking at the program.

I plan to look at it this year, sir.

Because solar events such as these can have marked impacts on ground- and space-based technological systems and services.

I appreciate your holding this hearing today to examine the recommendations for the Nation's solar and space physics research program.

I just want to follow along because I had asked earlier, Mr. Gay, your opinion about expanding NASA's role, but I didn't have a chance to hear from Ms. Furgione about how that expanded role for NASA would relate to NOAA's activities.

what the impacts are on our critical national infrastructure that is related to national security.

We need to protect these R&D investments. Our assets, our quality of life and our economic strength as a Nation depend on the research.

Thank you Chairman Palazzo, and thank you for your gracious comments about Ranking Member Jerry Costello.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the budgetary challenges for this research.
