Title

President Barack Obama urged to reverse his decision not to fully fund the Constellation project

Summary

A nonbinding Alabama House resolution urging the President to reverse the decision not to fully fund the Constellation project.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, the resolution publicly asks President Obama to reverse the decision to not fully fund Constellation. It also calls on Alabama’s Congressional Delegation to continue fighting to restore funding and to oppose any further efforts to cancel the project. It notes that cancelling could harm Huntsville and Alabama economically and would cost additional money, even after substantial prior investment, and it says a copy will be sent to the President and Alabama’s delegation.

Who It Affects
