“Rome Lab’s work is critical to our country’s safety and security, and they are a huge driver of our local economy, bringing good-paying, competitive jobs to our region. I look forward to continuing to work with the Air Force and Rome Lab to ensure they have the resources and support they need to continue their critical research and keep our country safe" said Brindisi.
