I can't imagine drastic reductions. The president made this one of his priorities. Not only will some of the traditional Hill supporters oppose drastic reductions, but (so would) the president himself.

I think it does deserve reconsideration. It will be one of my priorities.

It's just a continuous process..one of my priorities so it will grow.

One of my top priorities will be making sure farmers and ranchers get a fair shake and access to markets for their products.

Our priorities for 2006 will include completing the transition to a fully competitive retail market in Texas, converting to an open model in our wholesale business, improving the commercial capacity factor of our generating plants and managing our collateral exposure to reduce postings by $1 billion by year-end.

The IGERT program has not only opened my eyes to the many scientific possibilities of the integration of medicinal and polymer chemistries but also provided me with the knowledge of how to develop my ideas into marketable products.
