Loudermilk Bill to Rein in Wasteful Spending Passes House

Statement

Date: June 17, 2016
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) continues to advance his agenda of reforming government and bringing accountability to federal agencies. Yesterday, the House voted 419-9 in favor of Loudermilk's bill, "The NSF Major Research Facility Reform Act of 2016." This bill imposes significant reforms to the National Science Foundation's management research projects. Rep. Loudermilk issued the following statement on his bill:

"American taxpayers work hard for their money, and they deserve a government that is responsible with their tax dollars. Although the National Science Foundation invests in research projects vital to keeping America on the forefront of research and discovery, they have not exercised adequate oversight of many of these projects. This bill will require the NSF to implement project and financial management practices used by businesses across America."
