Alan Simpson: “The amendment would restore the funding for the National Undergraduate Fellowship Program within the Office of Science…”

On the recordJuly 9, 2014
The amendment would restore the funding for the National Undergraduate Fellowship Program within the Office of Science, which was proposed for elimination as part of the administration's overall science, technology, engineering, and mathematics--or STEM's--consolidation efforts. I appreciate my colleague's passion for the general science education. He has worked tirelessly to support efforts that advance American research in this area. I have no issues with his amendment, and I would encourage its adoption by voice vote. I yield back the balance of my time.
