Views & Estimates :: March 19, 1998
I support the Minority Views and Estimates. However, I have some reservations about any reduction in the proposed increases to NIH's budget. Research directed by NIH has a dramatic impact on our Nation's quality of life and has more immediate and direct applications in people's lives. Consequently, I cannot agree that we should look to reductions at NIH to fund increases at other science agencies. Rather, I would encourage the President and the Budget Committee to find alternative sources of funding to keep those other agency's budgets strong, rather than looking to weaken NIH's budget.
