Tom Cole actually said...

"I am very supportive of the President's topline proposal here."

"I could probably just say 'amen' and dispense with my remarks because there is essentially nothing in your opening statement that I don't agree with wholeheartedly."

"I am very proud of what this committee did, and I am very proud of what the NIH, more profoundly, accomplished in this year, not only for us but for all of humanity."

"I am pleased to have a President who set out a marker."
