Whereas, Operation Atlantic Resolve strengthens communica-

Whereas through Operation Atlantic Resolve, the European

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the Office of Technology Assessment should be reestablished. 
Whereas the Office of Technology Assessment (hereinafter re-
ferred to as ‘‘OTA’’) was created in 1972 to provide 
Members of Congress and congressional committees with 
objective analysis of increasingly 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; 
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 the United States; and
