Something that struck me about this eclipse is the level of excitement that it generated all across the United States.

I want to start by thanking our colleagues and also our witnesses that have come forth on this very, very interesting hearing.

I am excited about the upcoming 2024 eclipse, which, in my opinion, could even be more impressive and awe-inspiring.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas will be postponed. Amendment No. 59 Offered by Mr. King of Iowa The Acting CHAIR. It…

I would answer that some of the companies with the worst safety records have had a full slate of ELDs in their fleet for many years. There is evidence absolutely to the contrary of what the gentleman just said. Also, the Obama…

There will certainly be failures but the failures and successes should be determined by the free market.

Our leadership in space is far too important to subject it to that kind of risk and uncertainty.

Not only can space involve the private sector, it must involve the private sector.

Exploration, particularly space exploration, is inherently and inescapably a matter of vital national strategic importance.

Mars remains the first interplanetary destination for humanity.

The recent passage and enactment of the 2017 NASA Transition Authorization Act this March is concrete proof of the bipartisan and bicameral commitment to NASA.

U.S. leadership in space is a bipartisan priority.

NASA is a critical national investment in our future.

If you treat everybody like you would want to be treated, I think this world would be a lot better place.

It is quite possible that with continued efforts, humanity will finally answer the question and know definitely whether life exists on other worlds.

The science of astronomy, astrophysics and astrobiology expands mankind's understanding of our universe.

You are, Mr. King. You are a sponsor. And I thank you for your cosponsorship and trying to keep our American citizens, our constituents, safe.

I have H.R. 82, which I just discussed, and that is the repatriation of criminal aliens.

H.R. 80. The gentleman from Iowa, I am going to correct myself. That is H.R. 81, H.R. 81.

I applaud the tireless work that Chairman Lamar Smith has done to bring this legislation forward so that we can bring accountability and transparency to the EPA.

Syria, for example: 10 percent of the Syrian population is Christian. Less than one-half of 1 percent of the refugees we have taken in in the last 12 months under the Obama administration have been Christians.

The Outer Space Treaty celebrated its 50th anniversary just last month.

If the individuals and groups on this list are funneling money through the U.S. to fight our enemies, the American people have the right to know.

I couldn't be more excited to discuss these crucial questions with today's witnesses.

I support this amendment.
