To support moving NASA headquarters to Ohio.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
WHEREAS, Ohio is the birthplace of aviation and has
produced some of our nation's greatest pioneers in space
exploration, including more astronauts than any other state; and
WHEREAS, Ohio continues to lead the nation in aerospace
research and development and is home to world-class research
institutions such as NASA Glenn Research Center, NASA Neil
Armstrong Test Facility, and the Air Force Research Laboratory;
and

operations; and
WHEREAS, Ohio's lower cost of living would save taxpayer
dollars as compared to other prospective locations for NASA
headquarters; and
WHEREAS, Relocating NASA headquarters to Ohio would honor
Ohio's contributions to aerospace and space exploration,
reinforce Ohio's position as an international leader in space
exploration and aeronautics innovation, and best position NASA
for sustained success; now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th
General Assembly of Ohio, strongly encourage President Trump,
Vice President Vance, and NASA Administrator Designate Isaacman
to relocate NASA headquarters to Ohio; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly
authenticated copies of this resolution to the President of the
United States, Vice President of the United States, NASA
Administrator Designate Jared Isaacman, and the news media of
Ohio.
