Witnesses included the directors of the NIH, the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the National Institutes on Aging and Drug Abuse.

NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins said the reduced funding would have a severe impact on research, and would prevent new initiatives from getting started.
