The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“ROSENSTIEL SCHOOL OF MARINE AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Commerce was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H8390 on July 20, 2009.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
ROSENSTIEL SCHOOL OF MARINE AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF MIAMI
(Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to announce that today the Department of Commerce awarded a $15 million grant to my alma mater, the University of Miami, for the construction of a new marine science research facility as the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. The Rosenstiel School will construct an integrated seawater laboratory building that will also house a state-of-the-art marine life science center. The lab will be the only facility in the world with a wind-wave storm surge simulator capable of generating hurricane-force winds in a three-dimensional test environment.
Building on past initiatives to protect coral reefs and Florida's unique habitat, the University of Miami will conduct research to understand how structures withstand natural disasters, how environmental challenges threaten human health, and how dynamic action can enhance resiliency and protect lives. All of us will be safer due to the advances it will yield in technological innovation, environmental protection and public safety.
Madam Speaker, again, it's a $15 million grant from the Department of Commerce to my alma mater, the University of Miami, for a new Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.
