I have been proud to allocate funding and expand the reach of the Northern Borders Regional Commission.

Moving forward, there is much that Washington can do to further support our rural communities, and that includes expanding broadband access.

The funding will allow more students to contribute to NASA's mission with hands-on learning so they can join a diverse science and engineering workforce in the future.

In order for our nation to thrive, especially as we recover from the devastation of this pandemic, we need to make sure that no part of the country is left behind.

I am just, on a personal level, excited about the country being led by you as a NASA Administrator.

I look forward to working on this issue with you as well.
