I do think we should not take our foot off the accelerator at a time when HIV/AIDS is poised I think for some major advances.
Now when we hear from Merkley and Blunt and others about young researchers not having dollars, this is a concern to me.
Can we move money out of that area into neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS?
If we lifted the export ban, gasoline prices would fall for the American consumer.
I cannot understand why people concerned about sea level rise are taking resources away from Louisiana.
