It took me a couple seconds to remember that.

If we fail to provide researchers with the skills needed to commercialize their research we are limiting the potential return that taxpayers receive on their investment.

The early results are very promising.

Yes, I think we should----

That is part of the whole push here, is that----

I think it is critical that we make sure that we are watching, you are watching more closely from the beginning.

Ten years is probably too long a period between hearings on the important topic of how NSF manages and oversees its large facilities over their full lifecycle.

This remains an area of concern for me and one I will continue to follow closely in my leadership role on this subcommittee.

Cutting edge research requires state-of-the-art research facilities, and we can no longer take it for granted that the best scientists want to live and work in the United States.

I think it is also important for me to urge everyone to be realistic about the notion of doubling the NSF's budget.

Certainly we do have tough choices to make.
