Brian Higgins actually said...

"The only failure in cancer research is when you quit or are forced to quit because of lack of funding."

"I am here to urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to double the nation's commitment to cancer research."

"I call on you today to craft a budget resolution that projects a doubling of funding for cancer and biomedical research over the next five years."

"But the federal government's commitment is not keeping pace with the needs of the scientific community nor the demands of the constituents we serve."
