HR 8064 To amend the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to establish demonstration and pilot projects to facilitate education and training programs in the field of advanced manufacturing. Rep. Torres, Norma J. [D-CA-35]
S 4397 A bill to authorize the Secretary of Defense to build capacity for counter-unmanned aircraft systems operations. Sen. Lankford, James [R-OK]
