COMMERCE COMMITTEE RELEASES ADVANCING AMERICA’S PRIORITIES ACT FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE CERTIFICATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation today releases the attached financial disclosure related to section 5227 of S. 3297, the Advancing America’s Priorities Act.

Section 5227 provides authorizations of appropriations for the National Undersea Research Program, including an authorization for the National Technology Institute, that are expected to be awarded competitively.

The Committee does not believe any provision of title V of S. 3297 meets the definition of a congressionally directed spending item under Senate Rule XLIV but provides the attached out of an abundance of caution.
