NIST works to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards and technology.

It is my hope that this language will prompt agencies to rely on NIST's expertise in order to adopt these best risk management practices within their agencies.

One of the great challenges of the 21st century is cybersecurity, and this legislation helps NIST address growing cyber threat landscape.

By facilitating NIST's development of tools to address performance and reliability concerns of artificial intelligence, NIST will develop--will accelerate I should say the implementation of AI systems and give U.S. industries a competitive…

The discoveries and technological advances that will stem from these investments will significantly affect the nation's economy in the coming decades.

This amendment provides for technical changes to the legislation. I appreciate the opportunity to work with the Minority.

I want to thank this bill's sponsors, Rep. Randy Hultgren and Rep. Ed Perlmutter, for their efforts on this initiative.

I again thank Representative Weber as well as Representative Lofgren for their longstanding support of basic research.

The ARPA-E Act of 2018 requires the Department of Energy to refocus ARPA-E toward developing transformative science and technology solutions to address energy, environment, economic, and national security challenges.

The public's right to know. Let's be honest, it is important that that the public have access to this information

The bill most importantly, I think, requires members' disclosure

This bill does not change the fact that the EPA still chooses the members of the Board

Elections have consequences. If perhaps in the last session you were concerned about what this would do to the EPA

If the EPA undermines the Board's independence or prevents it from providing candid advice to Congress, then the SAB serves no value to the EPA.

The Science Advisory Board Reform Act ensures that the most qualified and capable scientists are free to undertake a balanced and open review of regulatory science.

This legislation recognizes the important role science should play to inform policy debates.

The Board should be free to function as intended to ensure that sound science is driving policy decisions.

H.R. 1431, the Science Advisory Board Reform Act, ensures that the most qualified and capable scientists are free to undertake a balanced and open review of regulatory science.

I take very seriously my role as your Vice Chairman on this Committee, and before I had the responsibilities and the honor of being Vice Chairman of the Science Committee, I chaired another committee in this House body, and on one occasion…

An important piece underpinning much of the innovation in agriculture... is the development of imaging and mapping technology.

Production agriculture from 100 years ago is markedly different than it is today.

Thank you all for being here this morning for this hearing exploring big data and agriculture: innovation in the air.

I would suggest that this seems to point us in a direction that perhaps, Mr. Chairman, ultimately, we need to provide greater guidance and clarification in the law.
