I think the atmosphere is just right for this.

We have a real cliff problem right now.

This is a real crisis that we have.

last year President Obama vowed to find, quote, "a cure for cancer in our time."

I am of the opinion that we need to do more at NIH.

As I've often pointed out, zero-to-one is an infinite increase.

You tell me where to get the money, and----

As long as I'm chairman, we never will.

I'd like to have some sort of satisfaction, or some feeling, positive feeling, that NIH is pivoting a little bit on this and saying, 'What is causing this? Why?'

The cure rate there is just phenomenal.

I think it's important to inform patients, from the beginning, help them understand what you're going through, in terms of the regulatory end of it.

There are now 64 human embryonic stem cell lines that have been approved by this NIH process that was stimulated by Obama's Executive order.

I've always been in favor of all stem cell research, whether--whatever it is, whatever pathway it leads us down, within the ethical guidelines that we've established.

I think that would be important.

I'd just ask my staff to get me all the information on this spinal cord.

And congratulations, again, on taking over the reins, and we're looking forward to working with you on this terrible budget crunch that we have.

I applaud President Obama for including level funding in his fiscal year 2011 budget for this program at $49.3 million.

I urge you to provide stroke research with a significant funding increase.
