Which I was doing, Madam Chair, and I appreciate that. So, again, if you want to be a scientist who doesn't believe in science, that is fine. That means you are a politician. I would like to think that those of us who are going to deal with those areas that involve science, even if we are politicians, focus on the science aspects, and I am going to do just that. That is why this amendment is important to make sure we have lifesaving research. Madam Chair, I urge support, and I yield back the balance of my time.
