Look, I couldn't agree more with science moves at a very uneven pace across multidisciplines, and the opportunity for cancer is now.

I have introduced legislation called the, quote, 'can't Cancel Your Own Debt Act,' to prohibit Members of Congress from voting to forgive their own student loans.

I believe to be executive overreach on the charter schools policy.

Well, thank you very much, Madam Chair. Thank you for holding this hearing.

Frankly, I don't think there is any other subcommittee that has anything like the number of people that want to come and participate, and it actually underscores something our chair likes to say quite frequently, that this is the people's…

I think it is fair to say that the chair and I agree with you about the imbalance between NIH funding and ARPA-H.

These are actually the places where the American people want us to be making continual investments.

we seem to divide the body up. There is the head, and then there is from the neck down.

This is the treaty and trust obligation that United States willingly assumed but has never fully funded.

I want to thank the witness for her testimony. It is very powerful and certainly very compelling given the tragic events that we have had this week.

Not only is this inflationary, but there are also people making literally hundreds of thousands of dollars a year who aren't being asked to repay their student loans.

We think what you are doing is important. We think these investments are critical.

I want to thank Dr. Harris-Hooker for her testimony and for spotlighting what this committee has learned...

Doctor, we would love to put you out of business.

I particularly want to thank you, as a Native American, for the work that you have done in that area.

And I don't know what the final number will be, but for 7 years in a row, we have been able to increase this program.

It is absolutely essential to the public health and well-being of the American people going forward.

I believe that States, not the U.S. Department of Education, should continue to be responsible for what charters they do or do not authorize.

I want to use this forum to also put out a challenge to some of our friends at the State legislature.

I take considerable pride in the fact that for 7 years in a row you and I have managed to get this bill across the line.

I was very pleased to see the increase in the appropriations in the 2022 bill, and I pledge to continue to work with her to see that we try to move forward in this area.

this is something she knows a great deal about.

we are going to try to balance the two in terms of doing traditional research and then looking at the institute.

I want to reiterate again thank you, thank you, thank you for the bold stance that you took with respect to how we fund the Indian Health Service.

Count me as very skeptical that we could hit the administration's proposed number because I just think it is going to take longer to set this up and organize it than perhaps you envision.
