Capito declines, saying that she hadn't even seen the bill.

I would like to recognize the service of the first ship named for our Nation's 35th State--our only State born of war--the armored cruiser USS West Virginia. She was commissioned on February 23, 1905, and served in both the Atlantic and…

Equally important is its work to combat terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, money laundering, drug trafficking, and other national security threats.

The Department of the Treasury has an important mission.

To carry out these responsibilities effectively, taxpayers must have the faith that the IRS will do its job without regard to an individual's exercise of their constitutional rights.

The IRS must also protect taxpayers' personal information and privacy.

And I just want to thank them, and you are the head of the ship there, so I want to thank them on my behalf for West Virginians because I have--they have really--I think they are sort of a hidden jewel in some ways.

I think it has been rather successful in the beginning and we would like to see it grow for obvious reasons.

Again, I thank you all and this subcommittee is hereby adjourned.

The Right to a Fair and Just Tax System.

So percentage-wise in this space would you say, how much percent is NASA and how much is private industry?

I'm deeply concerned about this elimination in funding. We're going to work, I think you've heard from others, to restore these cuts because I think it could have a chilling effect on the educational programs that NASA is offering all…

I think we need to rethink this strategy, and I'm going to be working on that I think across the aisle and with the Chair.

Isn't it more important than ever now, I think, to bolster the resilience of our assets in LEO while also enhancing NASA's capability at lowering operational costs by demonstrating the ability to refuel these satellites?

I take exception that the Appalachian Regional Commission--even though in the President's budget it was zeroed out.

The budget that you have before us, you are satisfied, and I think you have stated this before, that the aim of transparency can be met for this year with the staffing levels and the budget level that you have requested.
