My time is up, but I hope that we can work together for the part that NASA plays in keeping Arecibo open.
I will be a Member of this committee that will push for that because I think those are wonderful programs.
Thank you. And thank you, Madam Secretary, for being here today and for your work.
I think there will also be some agricultural opportunities now and banking opportunities.
I too hope that we have immigration reform, comprehensive immigration reform by the time, certainly hopefully before the next 2020 Census.
I would appreciate that. I would imagine it is with ASCAP or one of these agencies. But we are talking about a lot of money for over 50 years that not a cent has been sent because we couldn't send money over there.
For every dollar this subcommittee cuts from the IRS last year, the country lost almost $6 in tax revenue that is owed to it.
If the majority party, as I think it will, does something about immigration reform before 2016 election, there will still be even more people paying taxes.
What could go wrong if we do not fund properly the Affordable Care Act? I mean, it is the law of the land.
I applaud your efforts to restore IRS funding to more sustainable and effective levels.
I think the underfunding of the IRS is shortsighted and damaging to one of the important institutions of any democracy.
