tv_txt: I 116th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 4790 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES October 22, 2019 Ms. Kaptur (for herself, Mr. Gonzalez of Ohio , Mr. Ryan , Mr. Chabot , Ms. Fudge , Mr. Balderson , Mrs. Beatty , Mr. Latta , Mr. Gibbs , Mr. Turner , Mr. Joyce of Ohio , Mr. Jordan , Mr. Wenstrup , Mr. Johnson of Ohio , Mr. Stivers , Mr. Davidson of Ohio , and Mr. Posey ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology A BILL To redesignate the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Plum Brook Station, Ohio, as the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility.

1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility Act . 2. Findings Congress finds as follows: (1) Neil A. Armstrong, through his own definition, was first and foremost a test pilot. (2) A native of Wapakoneta, Ohio, Armstrong began his inspiring career in space exploration in Cleveland, Ohio, at what is now the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center. (3) Becoming the first human to land a spacecraft, and then set foot upon the moon, represents the greatest dream of any test pilot. (4) Therefore, it is fitting that the premier aeronautics and space test station in Ohio should be renamed in his honor. 3. Redesignation of NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Plum Brook Station, Ohio, as NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility (a) Redesignation The NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Plum Brook Station, Ohio, is hereby redesignated as the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility. (b) References Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to the station referred to in subsection (a) shall be deemed to be a reference to the NASA John H. Glenn Center at the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility . (c) Savings Nothing in this section shall be construed to alter the relationship between the Plum Brook Station and the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center.
