The Honorable Sherwood L. Boehlert Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you very much for the steps you took to ensure passage of H.R. 4664, the National Science Foundation Authorization Act, in the closing days of the 107th Congress. This legislation was a high priority for the academic and scientific communities, and we are very pleased that it passed before Congress adjourned. As you know, our nation's investment in the research and education programs supported by the National Science Foundation will have major returns in the form of new discoveries, new jobs, a better-trained workforce, and an improved quality of life for all Americans. Your role in passing this important bill, calling for a substantial increase in this investment, is very much appreciated. Again, thank you very much for your support for science, mathematics and engineering research and education. Please let us know if we may be of assistance to you in any way. Cordially,
Nils Hasselmo NH/GLL/law
