I want to show you a portion of that hearing, next up on cspan, chaired by senator richard shelby, of alabama. The hearing will come to order. I am pleased to welcome acting administrator robert lightfoot, to the commerce, justice, and hearing, toommittee consider nasas 2018 fiscal year budget request. Mr. Lightfoot and i worked well together during his tenure as director of the Marshall Space Flight center in huntsville, alabama.
