   HONORING THE UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS FOR 50 YEARS OF SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILL FOSTER

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 1, 2019

  Mr. FOSTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Union of 
Concerned Scientists' 50th anniversary.
  For five decades, the Union of Concerned Scientists has been using 
the latest technological and scientific expertise to address the 
world's most pressing issues. Its team of nearly 250 experts in 
science, policy, and communications continues to introduce new and 
innovative solutions to the greatest questions of our time.
  Among their many projects and initiatives, I have been particularly 
impressed with their work to address the looming threats posed by 
climate change and to contain the existential threat of nuclear war. I 
would like to thank the Union of Concerned Scientists for its 
commitment to our collective future and for its numerous projects that 
will help ensure a better world for our children.
