  • Address by NASA Administrator Sean O'keefe
    Remarks by the Honorable Sean O’Keefe NASA Administrator Apollo 11 Anniversary Event Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum July 20, 2004 Good evening ladies and gentlemen. It is a great privilege to be in this shrine to aviation and spaceflight achievement in the presence of America's first great generation of space explorers, those who made their epic voyages possible, and of our current astronauts and the NASA team members who will enable humanity's next momentous steps in space as Dr. Marburger (Presidential Science Advisory Dr. Jack Marburger) just so eloquently discussed. There are so many great friends here from Congress who been very, very important in our quest to make this next great step feasible. Senator Bill Nelson, Congressmen Ralph Hall, Nick Lampson, Sheila Jackson Lee, Mike McIntyre, Mike Pence, Vic Snyder, Dave Weldon, Bob Aderholt, Chairman of 1 the Science Committee Sherry Boehlert, Sam Johnson, Tom Feeney, Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee Chairman Dana Rohrabacher and Juliane Sullivan who is here representing Majority Leader Tom DeLay. We are delighted for their participation, their help, their enthusiasm for I think the importance of this evening's event, as well as for our continued quest forward. I doubt there are any historical parallels to our good fortune here. Certainly, no records exist of people living in Lisbon 500 years ago attending a candlelit tribute to Amerigo Vespucci, Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan, who was about to set forth on his voyage to circle the globe. Yet here we are, in the midst of another great age of exploration, thrilled to have under one roof so many heroes who've sailed over the far horizon to the shores of space and back, including to a dusty Sea named Tranquility.

  • Talking Points for Contacting Your House Member Regarding the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA)
    Extremely Urgent Fall 2013 Talking points for contacting your House member regarding the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) Tell Your Congressman Who you are and what you do. My utility serves …. [XX,XXX people in your district/state] or My company provides vital products/services to water utilities throughout your district and provides jobs for XXXX people. A reliable drinking water supply and clean water sanitary systems are essential for a community’s economic development, public health, public safety and environmental quality. WIFIA is an innovative, loan-based program. It was approved by the Senate as part of S. 601, the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) by an overwhelming bi-partisan vote. WIFIA will significantly help water and waste water utilities and their customers meet water infrastructure finance needs with minimal or no long-term impact on the federal budget, because it is based on loans that are repaid to the federal treasury. By holding down the cost of water projects, WIFIA holds down customer water bills. The House approved its Water Resources Reform and Development Act, H.R. 3080, on Oct. 23, but without a WIFIA title. WIFIA would make direct loans for larger projects, defined as $20 million for cities with more than 25,000 people or $5 million for cities with fewer than 25,000 people. In addition, WIFIA would offer direct loans to states that wish to aggregate a number of smaller projects to reach the $20 million (or $5 million) threshold. In this way states can leverage their SRF resources. The Senate bill would cap WIFIA’s support of a project at 49% of a project’s cost.

Over the course of a day and a half, the group held sixteen different face-to-face meetings with members and staff of the U.S. Congress to discuss the CFPB and their TRID implementation set to begin August 1, 2015. The group met personally with Senator John Cornyn and Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Jeb Hensarling (R-Dallas), as well as, Pete Sessions (R-Dallas); Bill Flores (R-Waco); Marc Veasey (D-Ft. Worth); Ruben Hinojosa (D-Beeville); Roger Williams (R- Austin); Kenny Marchant (RIrving); Pete Olson (R-Sugar Land); and, two new freshman Members from Texas, John Ratcliffe (RRockwall) and Dr. Brian Babin (R-Woodville).

The group specifically asked the elected officials to considering supporting a move to get CFPB to institute a “hold harmless” or “restrained enforcement” period for the first five months the TRID rule is in effect. There is legislation in Congress, HR 2213, to require CFPB to not enforce good faith mistakes on the new disclosures until after December 31, 2015.

  • Ag Districts Get Focus in Battle for Congress
    April 15, 2020 Volume 16, Number 15 Ag districts get focus in battle for Congress If Republicans have any hope of winning control of the U.S. House this fall, they’ll have to start by winning a series of major agricultural districts Democrats won in 2018. Of the top 100 House districts in terms of farm production, seven are rated as toss-ups by the Cook Political Report. Six of the seven are held by Democrats, including House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson's 7th District seat in Minnesota. The influential chairmanship is held in high regard - a title he could retain unless the House flips back to Republican. The lone Republican tossup seat belongs to Rep. Rodney Davis, whose 13th District in central Illinois includes the university towns of Champaign and Urbana as well as swath of one of the nation’s most productive corn and soybean-growing regions. Three of the tossup ag seats are next door in Iowa, including seats that first-term Reps. Cindy Axne and Abby Finkenauer won in 2018 by ousting GOP incumbents. The third Iowa seat is being vacated by Democratic Rep. Dave Loebsack. The two other tossup seats are in California and New Mexico. In California’s 21st District, which ranks fourth nationally in farm revenue according to the latest Agriculture Department census, first-term Rep. TJ Cox faces a rematch with Republican David Valadao, whom Cox ousted in 2018. www.Agri-Pulse.com 1 In New Mexico’s 2nd District, which covers the southern half of the state, first-term Democratic Rep.
