U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand announced that the Senate has included $80 million\u2014a $5 million increase over Fiscal Year (FY) 2018\u2014for the University\u2019s Laboratory for Laser Energetics as part of its version of the FY 2019 energy and water appropriations bill.<\/p>\n

This Senate bill must now be reconciled with the House of Representatives\u2019 bill, which included $68 million for LLE. Importantly, both bills reject the Administration\u2019s budget request to cut the Lab\u2019s funding dramatically in FY19 and phase out of all federal support for LLE in three years.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ and the 350 scientists, engineers and staff at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, I want to express my profound gratitude to Senate Majority Leader Schumer and Senator Gillibrand for their incredible leadership and support,\u201d said University President Richard Feldman. \u201cWe also thank Sen. Schumer for his recent visit to the Lab. I also want to thank Reps. Chris Collins and Reed, as well as the other members of the New York House delegation for their efforts to maintain support for this unique national resource that is vital for our national security and for science and education.\u201d<\/p>\n
