On the recordFebruary 13, 2018
I thank Congressman Hultgren for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4377, the Accelerating American Leadership in Science Act of 2018. This legislation authorizes very important upgrades to DOE photon and neutron sources at two national labs. In addition, it funds the construction of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility, the first international high-energy physics facility located in the United States of America. Over 1,000 scientists from 30 countries are already collaborating on this project. Let me repeat that: over 1,000 scientists from 30 countries are already collaborating on this very important project. Mr. Speaker, I again thank my colleague, Congressman Hultgren, for introducing this important legislation and for his continued support of the national labs.
