I understand that their testimony was late because the Office of Management and Budget failed to manage their time and resources wisely.

Given its serious flaws, I have called on the agency to abandon the report and return to a collaborative effort with the State of Wyoming on how to resolve these issues around Pavillion.

Former Administrator Jackson even admitted to me during questioning at another committee that the EPA was not confident it had discovered groundwater contamination in Pavillion related to fracking.

I am worried that NASA is footing the bill for other agency requirements, all while being asked to take an overall budget cut.

how can we ensure, General, that programs like these that are already highly successful and are inspiring an entirely new generation of engineers don't disappear?

So just to clarify, with the reduced funding, you don't see any anticipated missed deadlines for SLS.

I hope today's discussion can clarify the rationale for the proposed asteroid and capture retrieval initiative.

I am committed to making sure NASA is using its resources strategically for a cohesive exploration program that bolsters our economy, improves life on Earth and raises the bar of what humans can achieve.

I commend the NASA and contractor workforce on this progress.

I look forward, Administrator Bolden, to what I hope will be a beginning of an active dialogue.

I commend the agency and the contractor workforce on this progress.
