On the recordAugust 3, 2007
I hope we will begin a long-term commitment by the Congress and by the executive branch to ensure our Nation continues to lead the world in innovation and economic competitiveness. This bill has been more than 2 years in the making. One primary impetus was in May of 2005, when Senator Alexander and I asked the National Academies of Science to report on steps the Congress could take to keep the United States competitive in a rapidly changing global environment. That report, entitled, 'Rising Above the Gathering Storm,' was spearheaded by Norm Augustine, former CEO of Lockheed Martin.
