Lamar Smith: “We have no other speakers at this time, and I reserve the balance of my time.”

With clear Congressional direction, strong White House leadership, and NASA's tremendous expertise, we have all the resources available to make significant progress in human space exploration.

If space exploration is going to continue to earn the public's support, then contractors will have to deliver on time and on budget.

As I said yesterday, when government contractors make mistakes, typically no one is held accountable.

I have further speakers, but I will yield to the ranking member if she has any speakers. I reserve the balance of my time.
