Current Issues: Federation Thanks Representatives
Federation Thanks Representatives for Defeating Threat to NSF (June 2005)
Rep. Wiener (D-NY) proposed an amendment that would transfer NSF funds to a non-research related government program. If passed, the bill would have cut the the proposed 2006 NSF budget by $147 million and diverted $126 million to the COPS program, designed to help state and local governments hire police officers. Representatives Obey (D-WI), Wolf (R-VA), Ehlers (R-MI), Mollohan (D-WV), and Boehlert (R-NY)) spoke out successfully against this transfer, and the amendment was defeated. We wrote letters to these members of congress thanking them for their support of NSF.
