Representative Garamendi, as Representative Guthrie said, we are at the $200 billion-plus mark today. And the tragedy of the situation is that for every dollar spent on Alzheimer's today, less than a penny of every dollar is spent on research to find a cure. We have to do better than that. The hope and the miracle lies in research. We have trained clinicians, we have a medical community that is raring to go. We need to invest in a far more significant way. It was a message we heard from our advocates when they came to the Hill. Again, I think it goes without saying that we all commit to that research budget. So, again, it was an honor to join you this evening in this very special caucus.
