“I rise further today in support of the nomination Jared Issacman to lead the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Last week, for a second time, the Commerce Committee favorably reported Mr. Isaacman's nomination with bipartisan support. Now, as NASA takes on some of the most significant tests in its nearly 70-year history, including the beating of China and other adversaries back to the Moon and positioning America for historic deep-space exploration, the Agency needs a permanent, Senate-confirmed leader. I trust that if he is confirmed, Mr. Isaacman will be a reliable partner in continuing that legacy. Over the course of his nomination, I have had several opportunities to speak at length with Mr. Isaacman about his qualifications for this role, his assessment of NASA's current circumstances, and his vision to lead the Agency into the future. I am confident that he will provide the leadership that NASA needs to sustain and advance America's leadership in space.”
