As Americans, we should celebrate the fact that a highly respected scientist such as Dr. Holdren has the ear of the President.

Thank you, Chairman Hall, for holding this hearing and welcome, Dr. Holdren, to the Committee for the second time this year.

The truth is that OSTP has been asked to do a lot by both Congress and the President.

You do not science and research by jumping in and out, by not knowing from one year to the next what your budgets are going to be.
