grayson: mr. chairman, this is an amendment that is substantially similar to an amendment that passed by unanimous voice vote among democrats and republicans on the house science and technology committee a couple of weeks ago. my amendment, the grayson-holt-lofgren amendment, seeks to address a serious problem. recently it was revealed that the national security agency has been wrecklessly subverting american crypt graphic standards and deliberately so. crypt graphic standards for the national security community and the commercial software industry are developed by the national institute of standards and technology or nist. that is an agency within the house, science and technology jurisdiction. these standards are intended to protect americans from foreign intelligence agencies, from cybercriminals, from industrial espionage and from privacy violations by those who wish us harm. they are imbedded in software products which are used and sold widely in fact almost universally, in this country and e

grayson: mr. chairman, the central air service program or e.a.s. -- essential air service program, or e.a.s., is an expensive government handout. it is in effect welfare for airplanes. page 9 of this bill states that under the e.a.s., the per-passenger subsidy for flights that would otherwise not exist to rural communities, excluding hawaii and alaska, is capped at $500 per passenger. that's simply too high. i don't see any reason why we should be paying people $500 to fly from communities. not when this congress is cutting food aid programs and development block grants to communities. i think this is a very poor use of taxpayer funds. it's an example of the waste, fraud and abuse that we constantly decry. my amendment would reduce the $500 per-passenger subsidy to the still very high $250 because $500 are00 per passenger is simple -- $500 per passenger is simply outrageous. if passengers don't want to fly those routes, the subsidies shouldn't exist and the routes shouldn't exist. for $500 per pas
