Budget. Great nations do great things. And fortune favors the bold. The next several years will determine whether american astronauts will be the first to plant a flag on mars. We want them to have arrived there on board an orion crew vehicle propelled by the space launch. I want to comment on the handout that weve all seen by the administration called nasas journey to mars by regrettably, however, this proposal contains no budget. It contains no schedule, no deadlines. Its just some real pretty photographs and some nice words. That is not going to do it. That is not going to get us to mars.

As the chairman argued when we had this debate in 1999, only y allowing the use of strong encryption not only domestically but internationally as well can we hope to make the internet a safe and secure environment. I agree with that sentiment and you have made some of the public statements that i hope you can help us to reconcile that view with your call for special access. And, finally, because rigorous oversight is necessary for public trust, i hope that you will commit today to full compliance with the Inspector General act. For the past five years the f. B. I. Has resisted the clear mandate of that law. The Inspector General of the department of justice is to have timely access to every carry t he requires to out his duties.
