On the recordMay 14, 2002

my late father was a plant geneticist. He spent his entire career developing cotton plants and cotton seeds that could be used as food. I wish we would have had this research enabled when he was alive so he could have participated through grants at Texas A&M or the University of Texas to forward this very worthwhile research endeavor. Mr. Speaker, I very strongly support the gentlewoman from Texas and the gentleman from Michigan in their noble endeavor.

I am a little bit skeptical if we are doing this simply because we don't like natural gas power, we don't like coal power, we don't like nuclear power, because that would be an added cost that somebody's got to bear.
