I am troubled by the cuts being proposed to NASA's education activities.

The difference that this is making to these students in McMinnville High School, they are thrilled that they have two separate nano labs going up to the ISS.

STEM education is a priority of course of many of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle.

Budgets are about choices. The choice here is between fully funding the request to bring space launches back to American soil or continuing to send money, millions, to the Russians.

I can't overstate the importance of accurate climate and weather forecasting to my constituencies from agriculture, the fishing community.

I urge you to do so, as I would find it difficult to support the funding you are requesting for commercial crew in the absence of such safeguards.

I have to confess that I am a bit weary of the annual cycle of the Administration proposing reductions in the funding for the Space Launch System and the Orion exploration vehicles.

I think that is a very worrisome step for the agency to take.

I am a bit puzzled by the cuts proposed for NASA's science programs.

NASA needs to remember its priorities--and that priority is space exploration.

I want to know more about the proposed increases to NASA's Commercial Crew program.
