S. 2472 — Introduced in Senate

II 116th CONGRESS 1st Session S. 2472 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 12, 2019 Mr. Portman (for himself and Mr. Brown) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation A BILL To redesignate the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Plum Brook Station, Ohio, as the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility. 1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility Act. 2. Findings Congress finds as follows: (1) Neil A. Armstrong, through his own definition, was first and foremost as a test pilot. (2) A native of Wapakoneta, Ohio, Armstrong began his inspiring career in space exploration in Cleveland, Ohio, at what is now the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center. (3) Becoming the first human to land a spacecraft, and then set foot upon, the moon, represents the greatest dream of any test pilot. (4) Therefore, it is fitting that the premier aeronautics and space test station in Ohio should be renamed in his honor. 3. Redesignation of NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Plum Brook Station, Ohio, as NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility (a) Redesignation The NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Plum Brook Station, Ohio, is hereby redesignated as the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility. (b) References Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to the station referred to in subsection (a) shall be deemed to be a reference to the NASA John H. Glenn Center at the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility. (c) Savings Nothing in this section shall be construed to alter the relationship between the Plum Brook Station and the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center.
