The 2008 budget looks very strong, a 3.1 percent increase.

Well, I'm very disappointed to hear that, because it was my impression that the appropriations staff person was saying that you would have the flexibility to continue the priorities, which have been human spaceflight, and that continuation----

And there's no outside source that would probably consider the $350 million able to be recovered from the science?

I'm not worried about the Moon right now, either. I'm worried about replacing the Shuttle.

Thank you for tackling tough issues, like Hubble, and how you put 10 pounds of potatoes into a 5-pound sack.

I was alarmed at what the Appropriations Committee did, without our acquiescence, in cutting back on certain programs.

If we continue on the President's path, we face an extended period when the United States will have no human access to space.

This budget request, in the context of the FY 2007 Continuing Resolution, is not an adequate budget.

I can't see that there is one iota of difference in our goals for NASA.

I say this is unacceptable--especially at a time when other nations are aggressively developing space technology.

That language was changed, in the continuing resolution, from the Senate-passed bill.
