On the recordJune 19, 2002
I just want to suggest that some of us agree with the President in where it is appropriate to have the Sea Grant Program administered. I just would like to reinforce for our future consideration the possibility and the logic of having this under the National Science Foundation because research is so important as part of the Sea Grant Program as we most effectively and efficiently move ahead with this issue. It is especially important to the State of Michigan, and I am sure the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Ehlers) will counsel with NSF as we proceed under his jurisdiction for Sea Grant. But as we look at next year and the year after, I think it is important that we acknowledge what the administration has suggested in the most appropriate place for the jurisdiction of this program.
