You requested $24.6 million this year for priority projects. What 

 did you get? Have you seen the Appropriations Committee report 

 and what did you get? 



Mr. Finney. We saw the markup in the House. I believe it was 

 for about $26 milHon or $27 million. 



Mr. Stenholm. So you asked for $24.6 million and you got $27 

 million? 



Mr. Finney. Yes, sir. 



Mr. Stenholm. Then you're doing OK this year? 



Mr. Finney. Yes, sir. [Laughter.] 



Mr. Stenholm. We thank all three of you for being here this 

 morning. We look forward to working with you in this endeavor. 

 We appreciate your testimony and your input. I know there is a lot 

 going on and a lot of other questions we could have asked today. 



For example, we know that the so-called Madigan report got into 

 local offices. We also know that there has been a lot of internal 

 looking and review in preparation for some of the activities that 

 this subcommittee and others will be doing. At the appropriate 

 time, we will be getting into that with you. 



But we thank you for your testimony today. 



Mr. Carlson. Thank you. 



Mr. Stenholm. I call the next panel. Dr. Magrath; Dr. Phillips; 

 Dr. Hess; Ms. Merrigan; Dr. Huffman; and Dr. Chubin. 



Mr. Volkmer. Mr. Chairman, I would like to take this oppor- 

 tunity to welcome the first witness on the panel. Dr. Peter 

 Magrath, formerly president of the University of Missouri. He did 

 an outstanding job there and is now doing an outstanding job 

 where he is. 



I am going to have to leave before this panel is over because I 

 have other commitments. But Peter, I would say welcome. 



I have already read your statement and I want to thank you for 

 being here today. 



Mr. Magrath. Thank you, Mr. Volkmer. 



Mr. Stenholm. Each of your entire testimonies will be made a 

 part of the record. It is our hope that you can summarize within 

 the 10-minute rule that we would like to utilize today, if at all pos- 

 sible. We will be a little lenient with you if need be. 



We appreciate each of you being here and look forward to your 

 testimony. 



Dr. Peter Magrath, president of the National Association of State 

 Universities and Land-Grant Colleges. 



STATEMENT OF C. PETER MAGRATH, PRESIDENT, NATIONAL 

 ASSOCIATION OF STATE UNIVERSITIES AND LAND-GRANT 

 COLLEGES 



Mr. Magrath. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 



I appreciate Mr. Volkmer's generous comment. I enjoyed working 

 with him during my years in Missouri. 



I am Peter Magrath, president of the National Association of 

 State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges. Mr. Chairman, I have 

 testimony for the record. I also have a statement made by Charles 

 Schroeder, a gentleman who heads up one of our citizens groups 

 that supports agricultural research and facilities, CARET, and I 

 would like to have that statement included in the record.
