lot of -- without getting too wovrnky, there's a lot of d for ory spending propose the national institutes of health. you and senator murray are both enior members of the appropriations committee and appropriators tend to not be particularly fond of using mandatory -- of turning appropriated money into mandatory funding. i'm curious where you stand on you've gotten any answers yet from nih on what the is there.d >> well, you're exactly right. ppropriators like to have annual review of how the taxpayers' money is spent. and senator blunt and senator murray and others, senator dur bin, made sure that the $2 billion of extra spending this year for the national institutes of health. that's a 7% increase and a big step forward. i'm willing to consider what i call an nih innovation fund, that would help with the president's precision medicine initiative that would help young researchers and the other collins has at dr. come up with, and pay for it with mandatory funding. replaces other mandatory funding so i'm willing that, under some circumstances. i don't know if my republican willing s are but i'm to d

health care, community centers and nih was mentioned before. tremendousud of a investment we have made and we will make in the national institute of health. in our communities, we have people who depend on this, whether they suffer from cancer or alzheimer's or autism for heart disease, the research of the national institute of health is critical and we can be so proud of that effort. let me just say this. when you are working across the aisle, you don't always get everything you want. majority, we the make out even more than we wanted, but it was a real strong bipartisan effort. i was particularly pleased in the negotiation that we were able to get rid of 150 poison pills that were anti-environment, anti-women, anti-health, anti-education, i could go one and that was a struggle -- i could go on, and that was a struggle, but we worked through it as a teen. carolyn maloney had done an -- you can all see him, it was really a team effort, especially for those of us who are new yorkers. i will never forget 9/11 and as who- talked to firefighters were fortunate enough to survive and police and all the public servants that worked at 9/11, i will

government's scientific agency, the national institutes of health, has decided that it will no longerallow its chimpanzees to be used for bio-medical research for human health. the newshour's stephen fee has more. >> reporter: at this 200 acre expanse near shreveport, in western louisiana, chimpanzees have the run of the place. it's called "chimp haven"-- a sort of retirement community for chimpanzees, our closest genetic relative in the animal kingdom. the national institutes of health decided last month to end its support for biomedical experiments on chimpanzees, and it will send them here to live out their days. n.i.h. director francis collins says such medical testing is no longer necessary. >> a lot of the things that we used to depend on chimpanzees or other animals, we can now actually do in other ways that are probably more reliable in terms of their predictability about what would happen in a human being. >> reporter: the n.i.h. began winding down its testing on chimpanzees two years ago, keeping just 50 of them on reserve. since then, there's been just one request to use an

i am so proud of the tremendous investment we have made and we will make in the national institutes of health in our communities we have people who depend on this. whether they suffer from cancer for alzheimer's or autism or heart disease, the research of the national institutes of health is critical, and we can be so proud of that effort. let me just say this, when you're working across the aisle you don't always get everything you want. and if we were in the majority we would have gotten even more than we wanted. as a strong bipartisan effort, and i was particularly pleased that we were able to get rid of a hundred and 50 poison pills that were anti- environment. so let me just say in conclusion, september 11, carol maloney had done an amazing job and, of course, over here and joe crowley it was really a team effort,, especially for those of us who are new yorkers. i will never forget september 11. as we talked to firefighters who were fortunate enough to survive and all the public service that worked on 911, i will never, ever forget it. so we fought together as a team very hard to get the

the president wanted an increase in $1 billion in the national institute of health. the congress said that's not enough. we're going to make it $28 billion. i could go through a whole list of programs where there was a republican budget, obviously. there was a democratic budget. the president provided a budget. but where the appropriations committee worked through these things on a buy partisan basis and largely hit the right balance. again, $1.1 trillion spending bill, not to mention the tax extended portion of this, which is another $600 billion, that's quite a range of compromise. and for those who are worried and they appropriately, you know, can be concerned. i think this should be transparent. i think all these bills should come to the floor. i want to commend my two colleagues, the chairman and the ranking member, because they did make sure that every one of these bills went through the full appropriations committee for the first time since 2009. every one of them was vetted. there were the amendments offered by each side. there were discussions and obviously,

ranking member, and senator blunt, the chair of the subcommittee, we have nicknamed the national institutes of health to the national institutes of hope. and why? because it looks out to find the cures and breakthroughs for the american devastating disease, from cancer to alzheimer's. but at the same time while we have worked on finding the research -- funding the research to find cures and breakthroughs, they must be moved to clinical practice. that's why we in maryland have fought so hard to make sure the food and drug administration is capitalized in a way that it does its job. the food and drug administration employing, again, over 4,000 people is responsible for our food safety both here and as it comes in from abroad, and also for being able to move drugs bilogics -- biologics and medical devices in a way that is safe and effective. a big job and it's a big employer in our state. but we also want to make sure that we look out for those that are the most needy. this senate and this congress often talks about social security and it also talks about medicare. both of those, social security adminis
