| 751 | Prakash Kumar | dbskumar@nus.edu.sg | I fully support the need to fund such international research agencies involved in ensuring food security. The current environment in Asia, Haiti and Africa (to name a few regions), which are facing an inadequate supply of rice highlights the dire need to support the GGIAR centers. |

| 765 | Manoj Dinesh Oak | manojoak@yahoo.com | I fully support the need to fund such international research agencies (CIMMYT and IRRI) involved in ensuring food security. Not only these institutes spread the knowldge of wheat and rice cultivation, but these type of institutes will teach sustainable agriculture and food security between nations (without considering geographical, political restrictions). |

| 768 | Dr. Sylvia Mitchell | sylvia.mitchell@uwimona.edu.jm | The CGIAR system is essential and should be expanded and made even more relevant but not reduced. |
| 769 | Luis Cruz Arroyo | luiscruzarroyo@yahoo.com | Going into the era of global economics, it is very important to have an organization on International Agriculture Research. Maybe CGIAR should include research in sustainable agriculture too. |

| 771 | Carol Potenza, Ph.D. | cpotenza@nmsu.edu | Please rethink the funding commitments to these very important institutes. As a country, the United States should continue to retain funding leadership in agriculture. It is necessary for our overall safety and status in the world.
Thank-you |

| 779 | Dr. David W. Altman | iprconsulting@comcast.net | The US has consciously reduced its support for CGIAR during the past decade, and we now fall behind the rest of much of the developed world in our contribution level. However, the importance of these institutions in reducing hunger and malnutrition has increased as the global population increases and our resources are more limited. This action is reprehensible for a nation of compassion that attempts to take leadership against terrorists and in favor of peace. |
