Congressman Larry Bucshon (IN-08), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Research, offered an amendment to H.R. 967, "Advancing America's Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Act of 2013," at the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee markup hearing on 3-14-13. In the years since this bill was originally drafted, the use of cloud computing has become a more common way to store and share information of all kinds. This amendment directs Federal science agencies to examine how they can facilitate use of cloud computing for federally funded science and engineering research.
