John Hoeven: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thanks to both you and the Ranking Member for holding this important hearing today.”

I appreciate General Ross for recognizing the potential of this partnership and for working with me to make it a reality.

Between Project ATLAS, which we announced yesterday, and the MOU signed today, it is clear to anyone who wants to develop drone and counter-drone technology, North Dakota is the place to be.

This funding will help the High Plains Fair Housing Center continue to serve individuals and families, including veterans and those with disabilities, in the region.

“These investments will help grow our economy, expand our technology sector and ensure more of these critical capabilities are developed and manufactured right here in North Dakota.”
