Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 07-23-2025 01:39 PM Committee on House Administration Chairman release <blockquote><font size="+0">[b]Morelle Amendment to Keep Space Shuttle Discovery in the Smithsonian Moves Forward[/b]</font> Today, Rep. Joe Morelle (NY-25), the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, issued the following statement about his amendment introduced during the Appropriations Full Committee Markup of the FY26 Interior and Environment Bill to keep the Space Shuttle Discovery with the Smithsonian. The amendment was successfully adopted and will be included in the bill to be considered by the full House: "The forced removal and relocation of the Space Shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian Institution's Air and Space Museum is inappropriate, wasteful, and wrong. Neither the Smithsonian nor American taxpayers should be forced to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on this misguided effort. I am grateful for the bipartisan support of my colleagues on this amendment and hope we can continue working together throughout the remainder of the Appropriations process to keep a treasured Smithsonian artifact where it belongs," said Ranking Member Morelle.</blockquote> <center><iframe width="400" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wgQSzXvkGdg?si=rUt3QTlCcLRk4gYV" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></center>
