Ralph Hall: “The House favorably voted on this provision in 2001, 2003, and 2005 and again on the conference report in 2005.…”

On the recordJune 26, 2007
The House favorably voted on this provision in 2001, 2003, and 2005 and again on the conference report in 2005. Additionally, the House overwhelmingly voted last year to uphold the program by voting against an amendment to strike it by a vote of 161- 255. These votes send a clear message that Congress supports this research and development program and all the benefits it will bring to the American public. Like my colleague, Mr. Lampson, I have deep admiration and respect for Chairman Norm Dicks, and accept his assurance to work with us in the future for the greatest good for the greatest number.
