Joe Barton: “Unfortunately, in the last few years, we have not been able to give NIH those sorts of additional resources.”

You can tell that you have been president of a national organization. I am throwing you softballs, and you are being very ecumenical.

I can't tell you how excited I am to have this hearing. It's really exciting for me.

That's hard to stomach. We wouldn't be having this discussion if there wasn't a general agreement that your company has discriminated against conservatives, most of whom happen to be Republican.

This is a really, really good bill. I hope we have a great hearing.
