But--again, with the 300 percent increase do we have enough resources going into that? It's our resources again.

So, we do know. I'm going to make a statement, I don't know if it's scientifically sound or not, but everyone I've ever talked to says that it is factual that, the earlier you get to a kid with autism, and you provide interventions and…

If Congress were to require that all NIH-funded research articles be deposited in the PubMed Central Database, how would that improve scientists' ability to conduct research?

There's some good stuff in here.

Well, that's all well and good. I hope you don't mind if I remain skeptical.

My gosh, if you could develop a universal vaccine, that would be the answer to everything.

Do you think we're putting enough resources into that on the balance of things? This is very promising.

We ought to look--we ought to just see if there's some suggestions out there.
