WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation today approved nine bills and two nominations, which are now all subject to approval by the full Senate.

Chair Maria Cantwell (D-WA) provided the following statement on committee approval of the Endless Frontier Act:

“The reason why we're moving ahead and working so diligently on this is that the race for innovation is happening around the globe. People in an information age who are hungry, developing economies are taking some of the best science and information that have been created in the United States of America, and deploying it. We now need to look at our R&D infrastructure and what we in the United States are doing to be more nimble, to make sure that this technology is used to help our supply chains to grow jobs of the future, and to continue to be the leader in research and development around the world."
