On the recordSeptember 17, 2002
Our unending quest must be to fill gaps in our knowledge base. With this legislation, we are doing just that. This is a proud moment for the House. I want to thank particularly the gentleman from New York (Mr. Weiner) but also others who cannot be here today because of conflicts. The gentleman from New York (Mr. Israel) was very helpful. The gentlewoman from Maryland (Mrs. Morella) was there right from the beginning and worked very hard. I want to comment on the high degree of professionalism of the staff on the Committee on Science. On our side, Cameron Wilson and Diane Jones and Dr. John Mimikakis and our staff director David Goldston. But it was not just a Republican staff and a Republican bill or a Democrat staff and a Democrat bill. This is a bill for America developed by concerned Americans who want to protect us as much as humanly possible for the future.
