Randy Hultgren: “I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment…”

I know we are in agreement on the need to prevent bailouts of our Nation's financial institutions from ever happening again.

I'd like to express my strong support for H.R. 4377, the Accelerating American Leadership in Science Act.

It is my honor and privilege to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith), the very effective and helpful chairman of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, and also cosponsor of this legislation.

I want to thank this bill's sponsors, Rep. Randy Hultgren and Rep. Bill Foster, for their long-standing support of basic research.
