Bill Lee actually said...

"I am one who wants to increase NIH's budget in all diseases by extra, by the millions and the billions, because NIH is a lifesaving institute."

"I would just ask, how do we get funding for more research to address the entire population? That is what I want to know."

"I think it needs to be bipartisan."

"I was the only one who voted against it--it was just too broad and I knew it would set the stage for where we are now."
