The legislation we are here to discuss has 188 cosponsors, all of which are Democrats.

The reliability of America's power grid is one of our greatest economic strengths.

In my home State of Texas, reliable and affordable power serves a population that is increasing by more than 1,000 a day.

Unfortunately, it seems that my Democratic colleagues are intent on politicizing scientific integrity.

Keeping its power grid reliable and secure is absolutely key to maintaining U.S. economic growth.

Those are the accomplishments that we want to keep in the forefront.

If the lamb is going to lie down with the lion, we want America to be the lion.

I think it is always worth remembering and reminding that the Chinese military is behind every major component of what the Chinese are doing in space.

What is NASA's plan B?

I think it's critical that we ensure that the commercialization of ISS will still model that of the Space Shuttle and ISS programs.

I still want the United States of America to have preeminence in space. I absolutely do.

We must maintain a low-Earth orbit.

For the love of God and this country, I ask unanimous consent to take from the Speaker's table H.R. 3401, with the Senate amendment thereto, and concur in the Senate amendment. This bipartisan bill passed the Senate with 84 votes and could…

We parlayed that into about 15 percent, almost completely choked the golden goose.

The unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats at the FAA couldn't get off center.

I pretty much think is the role of government, you do for the people what the people cannot do individually.

You will be creating a licensing category for the space support vehicles, whereupon they have kind of refused to do that.

I think it's important, and so I think we want to continue that commitment as much as we possibly can.

I am disappointed-but quite frankly not surprised, as this is just another in a long line of political stunts.

A one-size-fits-all approach is simply impractical.

Under the leadership of Chairwoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, we have been conducting hearings and moving legislation under regular order.

We do need to focus on that.
