IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
FEBRUARY 4, 2016 
Mr. FOSTER submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on House Administration 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the Office of Technology Assessment should be reestablished. 
Whereas the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) was 
created in 1972 to provide Members of Congress and 
congressional committees with objective analysis of in-
creasingly complex scientific and technical issues faced by 
our country; 
Whereas for over 20 years and 11 sessions of Congress, the 
OTA produced trustworthy, nonpartisan technical reports 
on issues as far ranging as nuclear arms control, elec-
tronic health records, and oil and shale technologies; 
Whereas the expertise provided by the OTA saved taxpayers 
billions of dollars by identifying cost-effective areas for 
future investment and avoiding wasting money on tech-
nologies and policies that did not and could not work;

•HRES 605 IH 
Whereas the OTA contributed to the security and economic 
growth of our Nation by providing timely and forward 
looking analysis of technological threats and opportuni-
ties; 
Whereas it is frequently necessary for Members of Congress 
to make informed policy decisions about rapidly changing 
technologies that are often outside their technical areas 
of expertise; 
Whereas in the 20 years since Congress has suspended appro-
priations for the OTA, the United States has missed sig-
nificant opportunities for reallocating Federal spending 
to better align with current and future technological re-
ality; and 
Whereas 90 organizations came together to call for the OTA 
to be funded once again by Congress: Now, therefore, be 
it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that— 
(1) the legislative process would greatly benefit 
from once again having an office dedicated to giving 
nonpartisan, technical advice to Congress; 
(2) the Office of Technology Assessment rep-
resents a cost-effective improvement to the govern-
ance of our country; and 
(3) funding should be restored to the Office of 
Technology Assessment.

Whereas when we work to prevent cancer risks, it impacts 
human health, the environment, and the economy;

Whereas the health effects of social isolation include poor 
self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts 
and actions, increased risk of substance abuse, and high-
er risk of poor physical health and increased mortality; 
Whereas social isolation, which often underlies bullying, is a 
more insidious and harder to identify phenomenon, which 
is pervasively experienced by many students regardless of 
where they are on the social spectrum; 
Whereas the national recognized organization ‘‘Beyond Dif-
ferences’’ empowers students through peer-to-peer stu-
dent leadership to help all children in middle school and 
high school feel accepted, respected, and included; 
Whereas Beyond Differences’ ‘‘National No One Eats Alone 
Day’’ is a fine example of students making a difference 
on their own school campus by making sure that every-
one is included at lunch;
