Today, U.S. Congressman Steny H. Hoyer joined U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen and every Democratic member of the Maryland Congressional Delegation in urging the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to protect two missions vital to Maryland's leadership in earth and space science.

Each year, I'm proud to nominate exceptional students from the Fifth District to attend our nation's service academies.
