But we do not have any good studies as to adverse reactions.

I think it is imperative that we provide the NIH with a minimum of $32 billion, and then we could solve so many of the other problems.

I am so dismayed that the budget request proposes level funding. I understand we are in a difficult fiscal climate, but NIH research saves lives, creates jobs, makes us more competitive.

I understand that the fiscal climate may make it difficult to fund disease-specific programs at the levels we might seek.

An important component of health reform is the requirement that insurers provide free preventive services to women.

I would increase it because not only is it the global leader in innovative life-saving biomedical research...

I had hoped that the Administration would abandon its consolidation plan, particularly after Congress rejected the idea last year.

Well, I thank you for that thoughtful response. I hope we do not have to face that decision.

The government's response to a possible event at Indian Point should be planned, practiced, and ready for implementation.

I must tell you you were talking about the block grant with a continuing focus on UASI does not make any sense to me at all.

The work of the OEC is too important to face such severe cuts, in my judgment.

I was pleased to see increased funding levels for cybersecurity in the fiscal year 2013 budget.

Evacuating 17 million people within 50 miles is impossible.

I have to tell you that sounds like a cartoon which is just too serious to be real.

I know how hard the administration is working. Every minute of the day has been spent trying to ward off what we think will be a real disaster. So, as an optimist--and I think it's on Friday that Abu Mazen is scheduled to speak--I hope…

I now ask unanimous consent to consider my amendment out of order. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the Committee will return to that point in the reading first addressed in the amendment of the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey)…

Later today, the House will continue its extreme assault on women's health. H.R. 3 would prevent small businesses and families from receiving tax credits for private insurance coverage that includes safe and legal health procedures; allow…

Whether you are approving a new power plant or relicensing a new power plant, safety concerns are safety concerns.

My colleague, who also has a district very close, Nita Lowey, and I have introduced a nuclear power licensing reformat, which is H.R. 1268.

It concerns me, and I hope it concerns you because obviously there needs to be a focus on protecting the health and safety of our citizens.

I rise in strong opposition to the resolution. The right wing's failed radical attempt to block funding for Planned Parenthood has now devolved to procedural games instead of a renewed focus on creating jobs. Federal law prohibits Federal…

I rise in strong opposition to the resolution. The House should be debating legislation to create jobs, not procedural tricks to repeal health reform and increase our deficit. Under this resolution, pregnant women and cancer survivors…

I hope you can use that eloquence to explain it to the constituents throughout the country because, as you well know, they don't believe that our foreign aid program is 1 percent of the budget, and they still all believe it is more than 25…

I am here to ask your consideration in not only maintaining that budget item, but also to plus it up to get to the level of about $21 million.

In my judgment, this represents a balanced approach to protecting our national security interests, promoting the global economy, and maintaining U.S. global leadership during this time of fiscal belt-tightening.
