Reps. Crank, Crow Introduce Bill to Increase International Collaboration in Space
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Representative Jeff Crank (CO-05), along with Representative Jason Crow (CO-06) introduced the Quad Space Act.
The Quad Space Act Directs Secretary of Defense to lead discussions with Australia, India, and Japan on ways our countries can work together to create best practices in space, space situational awareness, and cooperate on space industrial policy.
"The Quad Space Act reinforces America’s role as a leading voice in international space policy," said Rep. Crank. "By strengthening cooperation with Japan, Australia, and India, it advances our shared commitment to preventing Chinese dominance in outer space and promotes a free and open space domain for all."
“The treaties and conventions that govern space are outdated. We must strengthen our work with allies to address modern challenges and keep America safe,” said Rep. Crow. “Colorado will continue to play a key role in protecting the homeland, with Buckley Space Force Base, a talented defense workforce, and leading defense, space, and aerospace businesses.”
Background:
Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Kevin Cramer (R-ND) lead the Senate version of the bill.
