Zoe Lofgren: “I believe that the President's budget request contains a number of programs and activities to expand NOAA's capabilities…”

I have no additional requests for time. I would just like to once again thank Congresswoman Houlahan, Dr. Baird, and I also thank the chairman. We have had a great run here in the Science Committee this evening with these terrific bills…

We have no further requests, so I am happy to urge all Members to vote for the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

It unfortunately is no surprise a president who has attacked NSF from day one would seek to destroy the board that helps guide the foundation.
