following concurrent resolution2 which  
was referred to the ,committee on       
,science1 ,space1 and ,technology       
,,concurrent ,,resolution  ,recognizing 
the significance of the anniversary of  
the ,american ,association for the      
,advancement of ,science 7,,aaas7       

,science and ,technology ,policy        
,fellowship program1 and reaffirming the
 commitment to support the use of       
science in governmental decisionmaking  
through such program4  ,whereas         
,congress hosted the ,american          
,association for the ,advancement of    
,science's 7,,aaas7 first ,congressional
 ,science and ,engineering ,fellows #dj 
years ago in #aigc2 ,whereas the ,,aaas 
,congressional ,science and ,engineering
 ,fellowship program was the first to   
provide an opportunity for              
doctoral-level scientists and engineers 
to learn about the policymaking process 
while bolstering the technical expertise
 available to ,members of ,congress and 
staff2 ,whereas ,members of ,congress   
hold the ,,aaas ,congressional ,science 
and ,engineering ,fellowship program in 
high regard for the substantial         
contributions that ,fellows have made1  
serving in nearly #ajj ,congressional   
offices and committees1 as well as the  
,congressional ,research ,service1      

,government ,accountability ,office1 and
 the former ,office of ,technology      
,assessment2 ,whereas the ,congress is  
increasingly required to legislate on   
public policy issues of a scientific and
 technical nature and recognizes the    
need to develop additional in-house     
expertise in the areas of science and   
engineering2 ,whereas nearly #a1bjj     
individuals have held ,,aaas            
,congressional ,science and ,engineering
 ,fellowships since #aigc2 ,whereas more
 than #a1djj individuals1 across #bj    
,federal agencies and departments1 have 
held the ,,aaas ,executive ,branch      
,science and ,technology ,policy        
,fellowships since its launch in #aihj2 
,whereas in total more than #b1fjj      
,science and ,technology ,policy        
,fellows have had the opportunity to    
contribute knowledge and analytical     
skills in service to the ,united ,states
 ,government2 ,whereas over four decades
 ,,aaas has partnered with more than #fj
 professional societies and             

organizations to sponsor ,science and   
,technology ,policy ,fellows2 ,whereas  
the ,,aaas ,science and ,technology     
,policy ,fellows represent the full     
range of physical1 biological1 and      
social sciences1 and all fields of      
engineering2 ,whereas the ,,aaas        
,science and ,technology ,policy        
,fellows bring to ,congress and the     
,executive ,branch new insights and     
ideas1 extensive knowledge1 and         
perspectives from a variety of          
disciplines2 ,whereas the ,,aaas        
,science and ,technology ,policy        
,fellows learn about the development and
 implementation of policy1 stakeholder  
outreach1 and communications through    
assignments that offer a wide array of  
responsibilities2 ,whereas ,,aaas       
,science and ,technology ,policy        
,fellowships provide an opportunity for 
scientists and engineers to transition  
into careers in government service2 and 
,whereas many former ,,aaas ,science and
 ,technology ,policy ,fellows return to 

their disciplines and share knowledge   
with students and peers to encourage    
more scientists and engineers to        
participate in informing government     
processes3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that 
the ,congress-- 7#a7 recognizes the     
significance of the anniversary of the  
,american ,association for the          
,advancement of ,science 7,,aaas7       
,science and ,technology ,policy        
,fellowship program2  7#b7 acknowledges 
the value of #dj years of participation 
by the ,american ,association for the   
,advancement of ,science's ,science and 
,technology ,policy ,fellows2 and  7#c7 
reaffirms its commitment to support the 
use of science in governmental          
decisionmaking through the ,american
