And their two specific asks were:

2. For representatives: To make a floor speech in support of the National Science Foundation and proposal review processes.

Later in the month on February 24th and 25th, I personally visited Washington DC to introduce myself(in my new capacity as Federal Relations Director for Binghamton University.There were no specific issues addressed. I simply visited with Senator Gillibrand's office(staff only), Congressman Hanna's office(staff only) and Senator Schumer's office(staff only) to introduce myself and to talk generally about the University and its current priorities and initiatives. There were no specific "asks" discussed.
