“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize NASA Day in my home State of Arkansas, which was recently proclaimed by Governor Hutchinson to be January 27, 2020. In my district, Harding University, a member of the Arkansas Space Grant Consortium, has played an integral role in advancing aerospace priorities for 50 years. Between 1967 and 1979, Harding University's faculty and students supported NASA's Skylab and space efforts, including the 1969 landing of Neil Armstrong on the Moon. They conducted experiments examining the long-term effects of space on the human body. As a part of the Arkansas Space Grant Consortium, a group of 17 colleges and universities that support NASA's research activities, Harding continues its contribution and maintains strong ties to our Nation's space program. I thank Harding University for its commitment to our aerospace priorities, and I appreciate Governor Hutchinson for recognizing the importance of NASA in Arkansas. ____________________”
