                               speech of

                          HON. ADAM B. SCHIFF

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 15, 2011

       The House in Committee of the Whole House on the State of 
     the Union had under consideration the bill (H.R. 1) making 
     appropriations for the Department of Defense and the other 
     departments and agencies of the Government for the fiscal 
     year ending September 30, 2011, and for other purposes:

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Chairman, upon further examination of the Weiner 
amendment, I find myself unable to support the measure. I am committed 
to full funding of the COPS program, but as I mentioned last night, I 
cannot countenance the dramatic cut to NASA. Without a clear enough 
pathway to restore the NASA funds that would be used in the offset, I 
will focus instead on defeating the broader attack on COPS in the 
continuing resolution itself.
