Every dollar wasted on mismanagement is a dollar that could be spent on groundbreaking basic research or training future scientists.

Thank you all so much for your expertise and your passion about this important issue.

I was able to sit down with Mr. Wood, and we spent a pretty long afternoon identifying a lot of the problems.

I hope that today's hearing will build upon that fascinating discussion, and help inform a research and regulatory framework.

I appreciate and look forward to learning more about these new and emerging technologies and their applications.

Biotechnology has become part of our everyday lives, from producing the insulin used by diabetics, to the corn we eat.

I think of a friend of mine, his son who's a brilliant student, went to Stanford, and then came to him after the first semester and said, you know, Dad, I'm dropping out of school.

So how can we push this down to high school, too, where these kids are getting trained to go into the cybersecurity field out of high school?

I'm sorry, I know we're over time, but will you continue to highlight for us some of those things...

We have an obligation and responsibility to ensure every dollar intended for scientific research is spent as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Cybersecurity has to be a top priority in every government agency from the top Cabinet official on down.
