We begin this hour with a historymaking break through in the world of Space Exploration. An european robot probe successfully landed on a comet. The craft which was launched ten years ago is already sending new information back about our galaxy, and it may be experiencing a technical problem. What is it doing right now . Well, thats really one of the great things, the great challenges of running a lander that is 300 million miles away. Its a half hour delay just knowing what its doing.

We just hope that we will see before the one year is out from the senate bill some son of life, some sign of intention, some bill that can come to the floor. Scheduledis and even on a bill that could possibly take us to conference. It is clear that their intention is to do nothing and that is totally unacceptable. We have a bill, 200 cosponsors, hr 15, including three republicans. Many more republicans told us they would go for the bill. Give us a vote, mr. Speaker. The votes are there. Give us a vote. In another display of industry and dash of indifference to the needs of the people, republicans are proposing to take food out of the mouths of our chosen once again.
