House Speaker Paul Ryan said Sunday he expects Congress to make changes to the White House’s proposed 20 percent funding decrease for the National Institutes of Health.

“I will say that NIH is something that is particularly popular in Congress. We just passed the Cures Act just this last December to increase the spending in NIH because we really think we’re kind of getting close to some breakthrough discoveries on cancer and other diseases,” Ryan told Fox News anchor Chris Wallace. “That is something that I think in Congress you will see probably some changes.”
