We cannot change our program of record every time there is a new President.

I consider American leadership in space as a matter of national pride but also national security.

The future of human space exploration is one that is personal to me.

The current schedule for NASA's first manned flight is 2021 on the Orion and SLS, but that is based on the President's budget plan.

Congress has consistently provided more funding for the Orion and Space Launch System than the Obama administration has requested.

The bill that we are gonna be introducing is paid for, it helps lead NFIP to become solvent, but it does it in a compassionate manner by not punishing those who have already played by the rules that FEMA and the local governments have set.

I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 3370 when it hits the floor, hopefully next week.

What recommendations would you make to FEMA to ensure our agricultural interests are protected and that we are prepared to respond in the event of a agro-terrorist attack or an epidemic?

I think, you know, it is unfair to all Americans that we need to get our financial affairs in order, and we have to do that by addressing the No. 1 driver of our deficits and our debt, and that is out-of-control mandatory spending, so that…

The need for this provision at the time was clear, how can the FAA regulate an industry that does not exist?

The third-party liability risk-sharing regime, which we know today as indemnification, provided a much needed safety net.

We must continue providing a framework for supporting the development of commercial space launch.

As Chairman Palazzo pointed out, by working together we can develop bipartisan solutions to the various issues that face the commercial space sector.

As we work to promote disaster preparedness and awareness, it is important we remember to equip every member of our communities.

They believe in their mission; they don't believe they are being well-managed.

I think these numbers are very powerful and indicate that, you know, a serious effort and investment needs to be made to change these things.

One of the reasons why the NASA Authorization Act is so important. It does establish a roadmap for NASA

The goal of this bill is to streamline the regulatory process for commercial spacecraft, ensuring that Americans remain a leader in commercial spaceflight.

However, it is up to us as legislators to ensure our current regulatory environment is appropriate for the needs of the 21st Century and to make sure safety is paramount in the commercial spaceflight industry's endeavors.

As Congress continues to look for ways to maintain the United States' preeminence in space and grow our economy, it is clear that the promise of the commercial space industry warrants additional attention.

The Commercial Space Launch Act was passed nearly 30 years ago and was the turning point for the growth of the commercial space sector in our economy.

And if we take the right steps, we won't be just launching rockets, we will be launching new careers, new industries, and new economic opportunities.

This is why I support the commercial spaceflight industry: the creation of thousands of good paying jobs on U.S. soil and the continuation of America's legacy in space exploration and innovative technologies.

There is no, with the number of veterans in Mississippi we should be that number one, that number two ranked in the best hospital system for the VA in America.

We have to recognize that there has been some serious mistakes made in the past before we can begin the process of moving forward.
