Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. STEVENS. Madam Speaker, I thank Ranking Member Lofgren and my phenomenal colleague, Ms. Deborah Ross, for their leadership in putting forth this piece of legislation in a bipartisan way alongside the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Miller). Ms. Ross hails from Research Triangle Park, and there is no one better in this institution to understand and put forth the systems of our supercomputer technology, matching the Department of Energy alongside NOAA to get in front of these storms that are hitting us more ferociously and faster than ever before.

Every single Member of this body can talk about their experience with a storm in their State or in their district. This is very real, and we know that supercomputer technology puts forth the best and the fastest applications. The DOE technology along with NOAA and their capabilities to match these datasets will help us get in front of these storms.

Madam Speaker, I thank Ms. Ross, a second-term member on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, the ranking member, and the chair for their work on this bill. I urge all Members to join us in passing this bipartisan legislation, getting in front of storms, getting in front of climate change, and making people's lives better.
