José E. Serrano: “There are consequences to the fact that we are cutting this budget, your budget all the time.”

This committee, both under Republican and Democratic leadership, has always been very friendly to NASA.

I am concerned with news reports that the Department of Homeland Security is deploying elite tactical teams to cities, including New York, with little to no justification that would potentially suppress response rates.

I respectfully request that the committee commit to an ever-greater appropriation for the CSO Grant Program in Fiscal Year 2021.

An increase in funding of the scale I recommend might impinge on other priorities.
