Zoe Lofgren: “We're in a very rough time in America right now.”

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…

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.

Now they have reached NOAA where they're wreaking havoc on the scientific and regulatory systems that protect American families' safety and jobs.

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.
