Thad Cochran: “Madam Chair, thank you very much.”

I am concerned that the 22 percent funding cut proposed for NIH could negatively affect longstanding research endeavors.

If we go back in sequestration, what affect would it have on the Corps of Engineers, Mr. Speer?

Mr. Chairman, let me join you in congratulating our panel here and the participation you're bringing to this challenge.

Ensuring that the Corps has adequate funding to meet its responsibilities is a high priority of mine.
