Edward Markey actually said...

I think it is absolutely imperative that we do have the best scientists and that we also make sure they are properly vetted as well but that there is a certain confidentiality to their own personal records or else I think we will have a significant discouragement factor that will limit the full pool of the best scientists that we have in the United States to be giving advice to the Federal Government.

Context

Markey emphasizes the need for confidentiality to attract top scientists for government advice.
