    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

    April 23, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader H-232 The Capitol H-204 The Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader McCarthy: We appreciate the inclusion of $50 million in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act for libraries to expand Internet access across the country. This funding was a vital first step, but we will need to do more to help Americans stay informed and connected during this crisis. We urge you to include at least $2 billion in dedicated fiscal stabilization funding through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in the next COVID-19 response bill. Libraries are vital institutions not just for the resources they provide the American people, but the economic value they bring to communities, rural, suburban and urban. According to IMLS, Americans make more than 1.3 billion visits to public libraries each year. Libraries employ nearly 370,000 American workers and generate billions of dollars in economic activity, including the purchase of $4 billion in books and other materials annually. With libraries across the nation taking necessary steps to safeguard their employees and communities by closing their doors to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, we should do all we can to ensure library services continue, remotely for now and in-person in the future. Without an immediate robust infusion of federal support, libraries will be forced to make massive cuts, both in terms of staffing and purchases. These cuts would ripple throughout our communities, impacting support for education, workforce recovery, and access to computers and the Internet.

    May 18, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Chuck Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Leader McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, Minority Leader Schumer, and Minority Leader McCarthy, As you work with the committees to develop legislation to address the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and ensure the long-term resiliency of our economy, we urge you to include measures to modernize and secure the information technology (IT) infrastructure that state and local governments rely on. In the bipartisan CARES Act, we recognized the vital role states and municipalities are playing on the front lines of this crisis and provided funding both to address COVID-specific needs and to help administer federal programs that are managed by state agencies. However, these investments are insufficient to address the significant technical challenges states continue to face, nor will they address rising cybersecurity concerns as more work is conducted remotely. The coronavirus pandemic has abruptly revealed how ill-prepared many of our state and local governments are to remotely and securely deliver vital public services to constituents at a large scale. In Oregon, for instance, the decades-old unemployment insurance system has led to waits of five weeks or more to get processed for enhanced benefits provided under the CARES Act.1 Kentucky, too, has struggled with a legacy unemployment system that has ground processing to a halt.2 Many states point out that unemployment claims have ballooned extremely rapidly, but in states with modern cloud-based infrastructure, like Rhode Island, systems have been able to relatively easily scale to meet demand.

While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S.
