In the recent STAC and CQ Roll Call event on March 31, Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK) and Dr. Panchanathan, Director of NSF, discuss the importance of passing the Bipartisan Innovation Act to secure the future of U.S. competitiveness.
Rep. Frank Lucas said: “it’s important to get to a final product that will stand the test of time… We have to take this opportunity, this national focus. How often do you have a major leadership on both sides of the building decide they want to support something with this intensity?”
Dr. Panchanathan said: “I’m thrilled to see the tremendous bipartisan support for strengthening the nation’s competitiveness…I am looking forward to working with Congress to see the Bipartisan Innovation Act signed into law and securing the resources necessary to implement this important vision.”
