               COMMENTS ON YOHO AMENDMENT 25 TO H.R. 3055

  Mr. YOHO. Madam Speaker, last week I had amendment number 25 accepted 
as part of the Commerce Justice Science appropriations package. This 
amendment increased and decreased the NASA science and research fund by 
$1,000,000 in order to highlight the importance of funding research to 
better understand human development in space in order to promote future 
space colonies. However, I would like to clarify that while I think 
these embryology experiments are of the utmost importance, I do not 
believe they should be done using human embryos or babies. The intent 
of this amendment was strictly to highlight the importance of non-human 
embryology experiments.
