Back on track on its funding . Well, first, let me say we were thrilled, also to see whats in the 211st century cure, its the 2 billion a year of mandatory, gave a great jolt of excitement and some relief to a community thats. Really quite stressed over the last 12 years as we lost ground but to get back on a stable trajectory that would result in a healthy Biomedical Research ecosystem, which our country depended on with Great Success over 50 years, i estimate in my professional judgment, we need to be in the space of inflation plus 4 or 5 a year. Thats pretty much that dotted line plus inflation plus 3. 7 i guess, a healthy way to make sure all the talent and capabilities of this country in terms of Biomedical Research, where we led the world for decades, would be sustained, encouraged, and innovation going forth in the ways we want it to. Thank you, dr. Collins. it 2 billion a year for five years is better than nothing, but not pretend that a small temporary investment billions of d
I suspect because the Combustion Engine is Getting Better and better, dont need tax credits handouts, pay more for miles per gallon. Maybe the real test is a battery engine. But i dont see natural gas vehicle being a competitive threat in the future to gasoline. Here. Thank you. David kroicher from heritage foundation. Wanlt to thank you, this is an interesting panel. I was wondering if you could go back to the cameron government one of the main plans was to go after shale gas, and whether they can do it whether we will be able to our Service Companies will be able to get business there, is it the right kind of rock, whatever it is thats interesting. Thats a big issue. I dont know whether it is the right kind of rock. I can tell you that there has been significant antifrack back lash. But youre right, the cameron government has been enthusiastic, has been pushing this and just got another five years. So i would certainly keep an eye on that. Theyre going to run into i think the same pr
Numbers, it is no secret they have large environmental and pollution problems and would like to do some production with gas. We dont have it resolved. The shale that seems to move quickest, in argentina thats just happens to be lucky it is in a fairly remote area where there has been a history of mining and theres sufficient water there so once again you happen to have found a place with the right conditions beneficial conditions for going forward. Those are few and far between. Im going to come back to this issue that what really made shale takes off in the United States is the fact you had companies and land men going out handing out large checks 10 20,000 an acre to lease the land, then oh, by the way, get an eighth of the royalties on oil and gas that comes afterwards. Companies had to do that because the individuals owned mineral rights. There are just i dont believe there are any other countries, if there are, it is escaping me that have private ownership of mineral rights. So wh
This morning were Holding Hearing on continuing americas leadership realizing the promise of Precision Medicine. Well have an Opening Statement then introduce our witnesses, who are getting to be very familiar to us. Were very grateful to you for coming. After that, we will have time to ask five minute rounds of questions or two, depending how many senators are here. We are here today to discuss exciting new direction in our health care called Precision Medicine. What does that mean . Well, those of us in the room a good representation of the population, they estimate one in ten of us would have diabetes. If doctors could use Precision Medicine, that is if they could look at our individual dna and genetic, molecular makeup of disease, perhaps they could tailor treatments to each individual rather than to more general category of diabetes. I was visited this morning by the head of philadelphia Childrens Hospital who talked about their work in identifying a defective gene, mutated geneti
If this is true, president went on to say, it does not get much bigger, would be sad for u. S. Then yesterday, more tweets, including this, the real story turns out to be surveillance and leaking, find leakers. Finally this morning, at foxnews, from multiple sources, there was electronic surveillance of trump and trump associates. There appears to be less here than the president of the United States would have us believe. Lets start with the unmasking that the president mentioned. Whats the latest on that . Reporter just a short time ago i spoke to ambassador rice, ill read it in quotes, the add that ambassador rice improperly sought the identities of americans is false. There is nothing unusual about making these questions of a senior official whether democrat or republican. I spoke today with former senior u. S. Intelligence officials, the senior most who served both republican and democratic administrations, and this is what they have told me about this story. They said, one, this i
