On the recordFebruary 10, 2016
Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 30 seconds. Here are some more reasons why we need this bill, and these are some more examples of how taxpayers' dollars have been spent: $200,000 to tour Europe for an overview of the Turkish fashion veil industry; $1.5 million to study pasture management in Mongolia; $735,000 for the American Bar Association to follow young lawyers' careers; $920,000 to study textile making in Iceland during the Viking era; $164,000 to study Chinese immigration to Italy in 1900. There are dozens and dozens of more examples. Mr. Chairman, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Weber) who is the chairman of the Energy Subcommittee of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee.
