NASA Glenn in my State and the Plum Brook station are unique and a powerful resource for our State.

There is a lot of feeling in the country that we are going to have to rely upon the Russians to get up to the International Space Station.

I think I have talked to you, and I have written to Carol Browner twice on another matter, but it is the cost of the combined sewer overflows in the water area.

A key aspect of it would be what kind of flexibility can you provide in the rules.

The budget has always been about $100 million. So, it's half of what's needed to get the job done.

Well, I would think that that kind of commitment, as far as it can go, would make a big difference because, if I am going to come up with a new regime, I would like to know that is the regime and I am not going to have to be confronted…

So again, I say to my colleagues, let's work together on achieving the long sought goal of passing 3-P legislation.

Operation Streamline is a program where illegal immigrants are prosecuted and face jail time for crossing the border.

People in Utah are very concerned about Quagga mussels and the impact that they will have as an invasive species in Lake Powell and other places.

Yet I believe we can provide EPA with the legal authority it needs to get CAIR up and running again.

I hope that you, Senator Carper, as well as Senator Alexander and others, will join us in trying to reach agreement on this important issue.

But from my recollection, to go from coal to natural gas is a very expensive proposition.

I would say my leading concern is that the bill superimposes fairly strict emissions reductions over a short timeframe.

I have been a long-time champion of increased efforts to enforce intellectual property (IP) rights in the United States and abroad.

So, if it was passed this way, you think there would be a tendency to shut them down and move toward natural gas?

I still shake my head at the inadequacy of this budget--it has been that way for almost ever--and a backlog of $60 billion for unfunded Corps projects.

I think that it is important that you do a better job of clarifying just exactly what it is that you are trying to get done.

I think that it is like everything else. It is the need that has to be communicated out there.

It would really help if you got the group together, and how much of it would you agree on?

The certainty of it I think is extremely important.

I just would like to say that your presentations were terrific.

It would deal with some of the real problems that we have out there.

This reauthorization with robust funding would take and put a segment of our economy in place for the next 5 years.

we need to really articulate that.

I would like to congratulate the Chairman for the great work that she has done.
