On the recordJuly 22, 2011
Madam Chairman, I would just simply say, as I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this, again, I thank the gentleman for bringing it to our attention. It seems strange that it hasn't been funded for the last 15 years. I think this is not the year to crank it back up, resuscitate it. I think we have plenty of bipartisan research that's available to the Members. And maybe there are some private and nonprivate corporations, big foundations that might want to do this on a voluntarily basis. But again, I urge a negative vote. Madam Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Holt). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
