ReutersMay 14, 2025 2:23 PM
WASHINGTON, May 14 (Reuters) - U.S. health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said at a House Appropriations Committee hearing on Wednesday he would spend any funds appropriated by Congress for biomedical research at the National Institutes for Health.
Kennedy was responding to a question from Representative Rosa DeLauro, the committee's top Democrat, about President Donald Trump's budget proposal which includes $18 billion in cuts to the NIH.
"If you appropriate me the funds, I'm going to spend them," Kennedy said.
DeLauro said Congress had already appropriated the money in the 2024 budget and that those figures were still in effect due to a continuing resolution.
