Thank you, Chairperson Lofgren and Members of the Committee, for having this important conversation and challenging the Smithsonian to be more vibrant, inclusive, and welcoming.
Our arts and culture sector is a cornerstone of community life — enriching our neighborhoods, strengthening our economy and supporting the wellbeing of everyone who lives, visits and works here.
I look forward to hearing how annual funding supports your agencies' STEM programs, how you work in coordination with your Federal partners to not duplicate STEM efforts.
I respectfully request that the committee commit to an ever-greater appropriation for the CSO Grant Program in Fiscal Year 2021.
