On the recordJune 12, 2008
I'm pleased to support this amendment as co-chair of the STEM Education Caucus along with my colleague, Dr. Ehlers, from Michigan. We've long worked to create emphasis on science and math education programs. These areas of study are critical to our future economic competitiveness as well as to the future of our space program. It is very appropriate to honor the life of educator and astronaut Christa McAuliffe with this scholarship program. I'm proud to support this amendment and urge all my colleagues to support it.
