I do not think we should be rewarding Russia until we see their behavior change.

I raised this last week before the Armed Services Committee... about what kind of a message it would send if we returned those facilities that were seized in response to the attack on our election.

It is critical that Congress play a role, an oversight role in this reorganization effort.

What is true about the Marketplace Certainty Act is that it would guarantee the payments that were promised under the Affordable Care Act--not to insurance companies but to families who need help affording health insurance. That is one of…

I thank my colleagues who are here this afternoon for their eloquence, their remarks, their passion for making sure the people in this country can get healthcare when they need it, and for their hard work and legislation to try and make…

My question really is not about their objections as much as it is about how we can work with Israel to better coordinate efforts.

Well, you are absolutely right. Saudi efforts in Indonesia, I think, are another example that should be called out.

I am really asking what we can do here to try to continue to encourage them to make those views known.

The idea that a state authority would support and actually incentivize terrorism is abhorrent.

I think that's correct.

I have one final question.

I believe we're getting the tools that we need from our 18 missions we've got studying the Sun.

A severe space weather event could cripple the U.S. economy and cost up to $2.6 trillion, with a T, dollars.

This is something that we're talking about in the Armed Services Committee.

I certainly disagree with the idea that you're going to zero out the education program and EPSCoR, and I hope that this subcommittee will be persuaded that that's not the right direction to go in.

Those were unifying factors for the country, and they were premised on this idea that we need to make sure everybody understands what NASA is doing.

I grew up in the post-Sputnik era, and I think in response to Sputnik, what Congress and President Eisenhower did was to understand that the best way to compete was to make sure we had kids who were educated in science and math, the STEM…

This isn't the time to cut back on NASA's Earth observations.

Now, closing our eyes to what's happening to our planet doesn't mean that it's not happening, and people in my State of New Hampshire have no doubt that the climate is changing because in the Granite State, we see it every day.

73 percent of Americans say they trust science agencies such as NASA for information about climate change.

NASA's job is to observe the Earth, to tell us factually what is happening to our planet.

I don't think that the way to meet those challenges is to eliminate the programs.
