 URGING THE HOUSE TO CONTINUE FULL SUPPORT FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE 
                                STATION

  (Mr. LAMPSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAMPSON. Mr. Speaker, I wanted to associate my words with those 
of the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Pence) who made the comments about 
the NASA budget, and to urge our colleagues to continue to support the 
tremendous work that has been done by the Committee on Appropriations 
to make sure that we have adequate funding to keep the International 
Space Station on the path that we have set it on, to make sure that we 
have a full crew of seven researchers and astronauts there, and that we 
accomplish the goals that we set for that, with a safe crew return 
vehicle and continued operation of the space shuttle in a safe and 
effective manner.
