While I understand that not every project that is requested can be funded, the AGD project is an extremely important one. Congress has already recognized the critical role plant genomic research plays in the improvement of crop production and increased productivity. I am hopeful that projects like the AGD, which received such vigorous support for funding from so many Members of this body but were not specifically funded in this bill, be given special consideration for funding as we move to conference. I would appreciate a response, Mr. Chairman.
