Time to Celebrate and to Look Ahead Photo by Marvin T. Jones & Associates On September 20, members of Congress, Congressional staffers, and science advocates gathered on Capitol Hill to celebrate passage of the America COMPETES Act, which President Bush had signed into law the previous month. The bill authorizes improved funding for science education, innovation and basic scientific research. Here APS Director of Public Affairs Michael Lubell (left), who lobbied tirelessly for this legislation over many years, chats with Vernon Ehlers (R-MI), one of two PhD physicists in Congress, who was one of the chief sponsors of the bill. As Lubell pointed out, the effort by science societies to focus congressional attention on the competitiveness issue began in 1997, with the impetus of the late D. Allan Bromley, who had previously served as science adviser to President George H.W. Bush and later as APS president. Ehlers emphasized that with the authorization bill passed, Congress now has to focus on implementing its provisions by appropriating the necessary funds. |
