Zoe Lofgren: “I'll just note, thank you for your enthusiasm for the national labs. It's really important.”

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…

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

I urge that we support and enact this good bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

My fear is that the chaos the new administration is sowing will be enough to leave our science and technology enterprise in ruins, with Chinese Communist leaders in Beijing popping champagne corks.
