NIH is, for good or bad, the best kept secret in Washington, D.C., and the American people need to know what happens out there.

Ralph Regula used to call it 'the people's committee' because it affects so many people, and programs in it are very important.

I agree with my colleagues here who have suggested that sequestration is going to be devastating.
