President Joe Biden is the final stop for legislation that the House passed Thursday, July 28, to boost federal aid for semiconductor manufacturing and research.
The legislation (HR 4346) also contains other provisions sought by U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici of Beaverton to deal with ocean acidification, regional energy innovation and education in science, technology, engineering, the arts and math.
In the letter, led by Civil Rights and Human Services subcommittee Chair Suzanne Bonamici, (D-Ore.) lawmakers expressed their concerns with how the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization will affect students.
At a congressional hearing on Tuesday, Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Oregon, pressed BIE Director Tony Dearman to outline what his agency and Chemawa are doing to improve the school's overall performance, from hiring practices to student safety.
