Q:

You won't get the 200 million but you'll get something Bear to it?

Lasker:

Lasker:

Q:

For all the fellowships.

Lasker:

No, I don't think you're going to get anything close to 200 million, because while I think the Cancer Institute got some money back, I think maybe we got 36 million, 40 million, something like that. We didn't get all the money back for the other Institutes. We got quite a lot back for cancer. But then they didn't give it back to heart and all the other Institutes in the same amount that the Cancer people got theirs.
