When I look at the station, the primary argument is one of international collaboration.

I am concerned that the new cuts in the FY '07 budget, especially the significant reductions in funding for research and analysis, could have a devastating effect on a program already pared to the bone.

I don't see a scientific justification. I think we really need to step back and look at the entire spectrum of priorities that NASA is facing.

Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.

We look forward to exploring other areas of collaboration.

Politeness is the poison of collaboration
