Bill Foster actually said...

"It is unreasonable and irresponsible to make these deep cuts in programs like investments in research and development."

"I urge the leadership of this committee to craft a budget that replaces the mindless cuts of the sequester with sensible investments."

"As this committee prepares a budget for fiscal year 2014, I urge you to reverse the devastating cuts to education and R&D that have been enacted by sequestration."

"Thank you, Mr. Larsen."
