"I am extremely pleased to appoint Rep. Olson as Ranking Member of the Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee," said Ranking Member Ralph Hall (TX-4). "Through his work for former Senator Phil Gramm, Pete already has a successful track record of supporting NASA. Pete understands that America's space agency drives innovation, creating technologies that help Americans and keep the U.S. competitive. He also knows that for too long, NASA has been asked to do too much with too little funding. I am confident that as Ranking Member, Pete will work to ensure NASA remains the World's preeminent space agency." The Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee has the oversight and investigative authority for matters relating to NASA, aeronautical science research, space law, and space commercialization. "Ensuring NASA remains fully funded and flying should be a national priority," stated Olson, "I look forward to working with leaders in Congress and the new administration to keep the commitments to the men and women of our space program."
"I am honored to take on a leadership role on the Science & Technology Committee," said Giffords. "Under the focused and bipartisan guidance of Chair Gordon, we are aggressively promoting scientific advancements that are key to U.S. competitiveness in the global marketplace. Smart research and development investments in several federal agencies, including NASA, will help create the innovations that will drive economic growth and create new jobs." "Having gotten to know Gabrielle over the past two years, I think she would be good at anything she does. The Committee and the nation are fortunate that she has chosen the Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee," said Gordon. "The issues before the Subcommittee are complex, but I know that she will play an effective leadership role in addressing them. The country owes a large part of its technical edge and our economic competitiveness to work done at NASA, and we need to ensure that we maximize NASA's relevance to addressing the science and technology challenges that will be facing the nation in the coming years."
