Statement by the President
INFRASTRUCTURE & TECHNOLOGY -- Issued on: December 31, 2018
Today, I have signed into law H.R. 5509, the
“Innovations in Mentoring, Training, and Apprenticeships
Act” (the “Act”). Section 5(b) of the Act, however,
purports to require the Director of the National Science
Foundation to submit a report to the Congress and to the
public that includes legislative recommendations that
could optimize the effectiveness of certain grant
programs. My Administration will treat this provision
in a manner consistent with Article II, section 3 of the
Constitution, which provides the President with the
discretion to recommend to the Congress only “such
Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient”.
DONALD J. TRUMP
