RCR: Appointed to Science, Space and Technology Committee

WASHINGTON DC – Rep. Mark Takano (D-Riverside) was appointed by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to the House Science, Space and Technology Committee. Following his appointment, Takano issued the following statement:

“One of my top priorities the next two years will be to preserve, and possibly increase, funding for important research and development programs that are crucial to emerging industries,” Takano said. “While our economy is steadily improving, it is still not where it needs to be and serving on the Science, Space and Technology Committee gives me the unique opportunity to help usher in an economy for the 21st century and beyond.”
