I am very uncomfortable with the proposal that's been put forward.

My only glimmer of optimism, Mr. Gibson, is my personal faith in you.

I can't stress enough, if it falls short in any way of achieving these things, the difficulty on those dollars are going to be even more.

I do agree that the importance of this weapon system as to our airpower and our national security strategy is pretty clear to everyone.

I do think I associate with the gentleman, we are very proud of the crop insurance program and it seems to be working the way we kind of intended.

I want to express my sincere appreciation to you and your team, and to those folks out in those FSA offices in the country.

I am very proud of the work we did on the farm bill.

And that leads me to having you here. I think this is an incredibly important panel.

This could very well have profound impacts, which I think it will; but it also has the potential to show how democracy should work correctly.

Yes, it is the 800 pound gorilla in the room, but the science and the preponderance of the evidence on this seems to warrant where we are headed.
