first let me say very sincerely say that there is no Member of Congress that has had greater interest than Mr. Hall in NASA. As a Texan and a proud American, he has taken particular interest in the safety of the astronauts, as well as trying to reap the maximum amount of health benefits from the investment that we've made. He has played just an enormously constructive role, and I thank him for that. We also thank Mr. Udall, the chairman of the Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee, for working in a bipartisan way. He had a number of really thoughtful hearings. He's put together a bill that came out of his subcommittee unanimously, and because he did such a good job there, it was unanimous out of the full committee. So I thank my friend from Colorado.
