Roy Blunt: “I only have a couple of questions, Mr. Secretary.”

I look forward to seeing this bill on the floor sometime between now and the end of this year.

I think that many of the things that this Committee has done, that you and Senator Klobuchar have done personally, and that Congress has done for the United States Capitol Police has sent a pretty strong message that people do care about…

We especially thank Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services (HHS), Education Chairman Roy Blunt and Ranking Member Patty Murray for their unwavering support for the NIH.

I know I am leaving the Committee in good hands as Senator Fischer moves into the position of Ranking Member at the beginning of the next Congress.
