Washington, D.C. – On Wednesday June 27, 2018, the House of Representatives passed the Department of Energy Science and Innovation Act of 2018 (H.R. 5905). Congressman Randy Weber (R – Friendswood) introduced this legislation and released the following statement:
“To maintain our competitive advantage as a world leader in science, we must support the basic research and development that leads to major scientific discoveries. My bill, the Department of Energy Science and Innovation Act, authorizes Office of Science programs, as well as upgrades and new construction of facilities at DOE national labs and universities. Earlier this year, I saw these programs at work while visiting Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. This bill is an investment in America’s future leadership. I am grateful for the support this bill received from the Chairman, Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, Vice Chairman Lucas, and so many others.” ### |
