Consensus is a political notion, not a scientific notion, thus the question deals with a political idea and is mostly irrelevant to science.

I would like to believe we learned a lesson that endless waiting and jockeying benefits no one, least of all small business owners across America.

It is no secret that our constituents are looking to us for non-partisan jobs legislation. I think SBIR is our first and best foot forward.

I truly believe that small businesses are the key to getting our economy back on track and maintaining the technological leadership of the United States in the future.

This bill, I think, will be the first important jobs legislation done by this Congress.

In this endeavor, failure is not an option.

I believe very strongly in a multilateral approach to human space exploration. I want to leave no doubt about that.

Today, as the first U.S. Congressman born in Taiwan, I am proud to pay tribute to the contribution and commitment Taiwanese-Americans have made to the United States.

The people of Taiwan and the United States share a bond in their adherence to the principles of freedom, democracy, and human rights.

Taiwan is vibrant and democratic.

This year also marks the 20th Anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act.

The Taiwanese-American community continues to be the bedrock of that relationship.
