Bill > SR68

This resolution strongly encourages the relocation of NASA headquarters from Washington, D.C. to Ohio, citing several compelling reasons. The resolution highlights Ohio's rich aerospace history, including being the birthplace of aviation and home to more astronauts than any other state, as well as its world-class research facilities like NASA Glenn Research Center and the Air Force Research Laboratory. The document notes that NASA's current lease in Washington, D.C. expires in 2028, presenting an opportune moment for relocation, and emphasizes Ohio's strategic advantages such as a highly skilled workforce, robust transportation infrastructure, and a developed manufacturing sector. The resolution also points out that Ohio's lower cost of living would result in taxpayer savings and argues that moving NASA headquarters to the state would honor Ohio's contributions to space exploration and reinforce its position as a leader in aeronautics innovation. Specifically, the resolution calls on President Trump, Vice President Vance, and NASA Administrator Designate Isaacman to relocate NASA headquarters to Ohio and directs the Senate Clerk to send authenticated copies of the resolution to these officials and Ohio news media.
