We ought to continue our efforts in finding ways to fund NIH at increasing rates and certainly without reductions.
We need to continue to have the funding necessary for the infrastructure so that we don't start anew.
Senator Murray and I agree on many things. One thing we do not agree on is health insurance.

These decisions artificially inflate the budget request and forced you to significantly cut or eliminate programs unnece...

I certainly agree that we ought to look everywhere we can for savings.
We're pleased that you bring your skills and your dedication in this area to the job you're doing.
I appreciate the great expertise you bring to it, having been in the Department before.
Senator Murray and I worked hard to craft a bill for your department this year.
I'm certainly pleased, Secretary Azar, to have you here this morning.
