WASHINGTON— Congressman Dale W. Strong (AL-05) has been nominated by the House Republican Steering Committee to serve on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology for the 118th Congress.

The Committee is responsible for setting the direction of America’s scientific, economic, and technical growth and ensuring that the United States sustains its competitive edge over the Chinese Communist Party. The Committee maintains oversight of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Science Foundation, and the National Weather Service. Congressman Strong’s position will enable him to directly support the work done in Alabama’s Fifth Congressional District at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.

“Huntsville, known as the Rocket City, has contributed to the success of America’s space program for over six decades. The vital work done at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center plays a crucial role in the Fifth District and helps America continue to lead the space race. I look forward to promoting NASA’s mission through my position on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology,” says Congressman Dale Strong.

In total, Congressman Strong has been nominated for three committees: Armed Services, Homeland Security, and Science, Space, and Technology.
“I am extremely honored to be asked to serve on committees that are crucial to the work being done in North Alabama,” says Congressman Strong.
Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-OK) issued the following statement after announcing new Committee member nominations.

“We’ll be working to ensure a competitive edge over China, strengthen critical industries of the future, preserve American leadership in space, and improve efficiency and accountability at the agencies under our jurisdiction. From quantum information sciences to drones to weather forecasting, the Science Committee has a full agenda ahead. We have a great group of returning members and an exciting freshmen cohort that will bring diverse expertise to the challenges ahead. I’m confident we’ll have a productive year, and I’m eager to get to work.”
