I think there should be a requirement that if you are receiving federal funding that you then manufacture that in the United States.

Let us leave the President out of this, all right?

Abuse of power, really.

This suit was filed, we agree with you, all right. So just so we are clear about the politics, this is not about politics, this is about appropriate placement for young people.

I can't imagine a more important priority and we appreciate the work you do for Brothers and Sisters.

I want to thank you for your appearance. And I share the chairman's desire that we provide this to the Justice Department.

Thank you. And I notice these Philadelphia connections. This could be a major breakthrough in these national organizations.

Veterans deserve more than a fair hearing before the court given all that they have done for our country.

I agree with the chairman. And he can speak for me on this.

There is some notion in the public that Ford didn't benefit and I just want to use this as an example.

We are not getting out of the satellite business. We are going to get right back up and launch another satellite.

I am a big supporter of both of these initiatives, and I think the chairman was correct to point out that these programs which were launched by legislation passed by Congress, and were started under the previous administration are still…

The European Energy Alliance has just announced in the last couple of weeks that, based on the efforts of what is being done here in the United States, that the European Union, in order to compete economically has to now invest in…

I don't want anyone to think that the Congress is not prepared to make sure that the weather forecasting and the local warning systems are very high priorities for us.

We can look right at NASA research in aeronautics.

We have never connected up American discoveries to American jobs.

I am for making the investments and I am actually for doing more, and I have introduced legislation that would have the nation do more.

I agree with you totally in the Federal investment both through our Federal labs, through NIST, through the National Science Foundation, and I could go on and on, through NASA, has been at the heart of our ability to lead the world…

The fact that we have competition is not, there is nothing wrong with it.

Innovation is at the heart of the world economy, it is the heart of our economy.

I do think that we need to be tying these licensing agreements or agreements to commercialize Federal research, federally funded research should be tied to production here in the United States of America.

I share with the Chairman some concerns about some of the proposals relative to cuts in the National Weather Service and the tsunami program.

This notion that we can't afford to invest in American business or in promoting manufacturing or in our National Weather Service or in NIST is nonsense.

Particularly I have been quite impressed with some of the work of women and others who heretofore have not gotten a lot of notice.

I hope--I should put a plug in for the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank while it is under consideration in the Senate.
