Well, thank you. That is what we ask you to do. And I appreciate that.
This is the time we should be increasing our commitment to education, not cutting it.
As many of you know, Senator Mikulski and I have been, and we will continue to be extremely strong supporters of the NSF and a robust budget...
I hope that next year if you are working on a budget that you can take your opening statement to OMB.
I could not agree more with Senator Mikulski.
I would wholeheartedly concur with that. I think there are many needs in education.
Thank you. That is your judgment, and I am delighted to hear about it.
Obviously, you have to have the good science first, and how do you go about addressing the public concerns?
I just came with mixed emotions from a hearing where I did something that causes me qualms.
I am a big supporter of plant biotechnology, because it is generating exciting possibilities for improving human health and nutrition.
Yes, but what do you want to do at NSF?
