Reclaiming my time, to make it clear, it is somewhat of a different amendment than the gentlewoman submitted in the Committee on Science, but even more and above that, it seems to me like we should agree that if we can leave NSF and the scientific community and the peer review process to do and decide on these initiatives and how much is reasonable, the legislation that we passed recently by the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Eddie Bernice Johnson) and myself does not say we are going in one area or the other. It says do more research. Let us leave that up to the scientific community in deciding how much money should be spent in any particular area of this biological research.
