We have to think about this in a coordinated way. Would you agree?

I rise today to acknowledge and honor Michigan farmers. Agriculture is a vital part of Michigan's economy. In fact, Michigan is home to more than 51,000 farms that contribute over $100 billion to our Nation's economy. Michigan is also the…

I want to draw attention to the issue in the duplication report about the challenges that we face in maintaining some of our satellite weather monitoring capabilities.

I am encouraged to hear that the $75 billion figure that we have been given is soon to grow quite rapidly.

I would like to join in your efforts to get greater compliance with these GAO recommendations as well.

I think there is a great opportunity for us to come together to make sure that what we have seen in performance continues.

I am also concerned about, in the President's budget, significant cuts to NOAA and what that would mean for weather satellites.

We cannot let bureaucracy stifle our space ambitions.

I think that the principles that we would think about are reciprocity--are American companies able to sell into that market?

It seems to me, between us and China, that this is a new paradigm when it comes to international relations.

These are entitlements. These are things that people have paid in their entire life.

You go after the press. You try to delegitimize the press and say it is all fake news.

I think our institutions do need reforms and they do need strengthening and they do need to be adapted for the situations we find ourselves in.

I want to leave time for Mr. Raskin, but we talk about this peer-review concept. Maybe people don't understand what that is. What happens is these top scientists from around the world file these grants. They are reviewed not by government…

Doing the right thing is hard and often not politically expedient.

If you do not have truth, how do you survive as a democratic society?
