"The commitment that the President has made to expanding educational opportunities and the investments in research and science within this budget are things I strongly support."

"It is because of this Congress and the last three Presidents that we finally have come to the point of recognizing it and have stopped sweeping it under the rug."

"The proponents of this bill deserve high praise, and I wish them every success toward its enactment."

"These are not going to be small events, potentially."
