Let me commend the gentlewoman for your strong advocacy. Just for the record, our bill does provide $155 million, including a plus up of $1 million above the request level of $55 million, for traumatic brain injury and psychological health research.

We welcome the additional money; we accept your amendment, and I commend you for your efforts.
