I want to go out on a limb and say that if this subcommittee has much to do about it I suspect that you are going to do pretty well this year for yet another year.

I always call Dr. Collins the best politician in Washington. Anybody that can be appointed by President Obama and then reappointed by President Trump has exceptional political skills.

May I inquire how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Oklahoma has 1 minute remaining.

I urge a ``no'' vote on the previous question, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Burgess), my good friend, fellow member of the Rules Committee, and classmate.

I have consistently supported responsible and balanced legislation to get our long-term fiscal house in order.

So on that committee in the last four years we have made that a priority, and we have literally quadrupled Alzheimer's research funding, going from $500 million to about $2.4 billion.
