Likewise, Congressman Cole from Oklahoma is the chair of the overall House Appropriations committee.

If you can, reach out to his office as well.

It is noteworthy that OMB is willing to veto a bill over a minor-seeming NIH operational issue.

This makes me think this is part of a bigger plan...

Congressman Aderholt from Alabama is the chair and he is apparently willing to help OMB here, adding report language (which is toothless) rather than including this in the law.

If you are from Alabama, please contact his office and your Senators and share your thoughts.
