“The private sector spends much more overall in NIT R&D than the federal agencies do. But industry research and innovation is built on the foundation of R&D supported by the agencies and largely carried out in our universities and federal laboratories. And industry hires the students trained in our universities under federal research grants.”

The legislation passed the Committee by voice vote and was reported favorably out of Committee. After the markup, Johnson expressed hope the bipartisan bill would move through Congress quickly and become law.
