House members establish NASA Caucus
Lawmakers in the House have established a NASA Caucus to “strengthen policymaker awareness of NASA’s many connections to our national security and economic interests, provide as a bipartisan forum to discuss the scientific and technological challenges to American flight and space-exploration endeavors, and serve as a focal point for public- and private-sector air and space expertise that cover the full range of NASA’s initiatives.”
U.S. Rep. Steve Knight, R-Calif., and U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, launched the new group which has more than 25 members. From the Sunshine State, Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Posey and Democrats U.S. Reps. Kathy Castor, Charlie Crist, Alcee Hastings and Debbie Wasserman Schultz joined the caucus.
