Political Quotes

“this bill, H.R. 3598, will ensure that the Federal agencies will coordinate their programs. That is important. It expands the effort to have more students be trained in the manufacturing science. That is important. It ups the authorization amount for the MEP program. Yesterday we passed a bill that increased the appropriations for that program, the Manufacturing Extension Program. I will just urge every small and medium-sized manufacturer in this country, everyone that knows somebody that works in that kind of industry, to take advantage of this program. Look, you are getting expert advice for one-third of what it is otherwise going to cost you as a manufacturer for expert advice. The State provides one-third, the feds under our program provides one-third, that leaves one-third for the participating manufacturers. Use the program. If you know somebody that is in the manufacturing arena, tell them to go to the Web site. Type in MEP and NIST and let a search engine find it. If you want the details, it is www.MEP.NIST.gov/state-affairs. It is a good program. Use it.”
