Providing science, technology, education, and math education to America's youth is critical to the global competitiveness of our Nation.

I think that the uniqueness of targeting students who, many of them are at-risk students, who would never go on to science and technology, but because it is done by the military, because it is done in a particular way, it really excites…

I do not think that hydraulic fracturing is inherently bad. However, that being said, we need to be writing rules to make sure that it is done right.

FracFocus not only contains data that is error-prone, it is tedious to download.

I profoundly hope that the BLM take these recommendations seriously.

Falling short in meeting the Task Force's standards and recommendations is unacceptable: it will jeopardize the public trust.

Our letter supports recent research and recommendations by the Department of Energy's task force that was specifically tasked to review FracFocus.

the rule doesn't do much at all, it simply requires companies to do what they are already doing under State regulations.

we believe that FracFocus, which the BLM is considering for use as the primary tool for public disclosure on fracturing operations on public lands, is seriously flawed.

But this is not acceptable.

Last year I asked the Interior Department a question for the record about how the BLM would ensure that FracFocus fixed its data search, sort, and aggregation tools.
