Let me ask the Senator from Louisiana, would he be able to allow the Senator from Virginia to go forward?

Mr. President, I wish to thank my colleagues for their work on the Reagan National perimeter rule issue. Last week, I sat down with several interested colleagues in an effort to try to find a path forward on this issue, and the result is…

The human spaceflight gap created by these delays threatens not only our Nation's access to the International Space Station and other areas of space, but also our national security and economic interests.
