On the recordJune 5, 2002
I have a quote on page 255 of the National Academy of Sciences Report of 2002, and I quote ``Formal research support in the United States for the study of environmental impacts on transgenic plants has been sparse.'' In other words, we are not doing enough. And in responding to the statement of my good friend, the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Ehlers), that we do not identify how we spend NSF funds, we just give them a big pot of money, we do have other programs that are identified. We spend money on advanced technological education, on Noyce scholarships, math and science scholarship programs, minority-serving institutions and undergraduate programs, and the Presidential Science Teacher awards, for example.
