I have felt for a long time that NIH had to be more aggressive in getting their stuff out to the general public.

I am concerned about parceling things out and sort of taking the focus off.

I have been told that some of those grants actually go out to show employers how they can employ people with disabilities by making modest, small accommodations that do not cost a lot of money.

It's tough on parents who would do anything to help their children at home, while at the same time, fighting to find the supportive services that their children so badly need.

I ask all those in a position of influence, including members of this distinguished committee, to support efforts to find innovative solutions to service delivery.

I'm trying to think of two things, here. How do we do more and better research?

There's got to be, because, Dr. Insel--and that's why I asked the question at the beginning--do we know what's happening in other countries?

I understand that they stopped that because of privacy concerns.

It almost is like that AIDS epidemic. We've just got to get to it.

I hope and trust that we'll be looking at that and that NIH will be examining that.

Senator Specter and I have already pledged to reject the President's proposed cuts to NIH for fiscal year 2008.

Well, I guess my mind rebels of something like that.

So we really don't have it classified yet?

That's good.

That is pretty startling; I've never heard this before.

Well, to make a long story, short, when I was at the hospital for special surgery, I'd mentioned this and they've all heard of this guy.

What you mean, is the specific type of the bacteria can be identified.

I guess I'm curious about that, and how that is proceeding, and whether or not there's enough correspondence, or I think, overlap--what's the word I'm searching for, when you talk together?
