Testimony of Nabil Nasr Director, National Center for Remanufacturing and Resource Recovery, Rochester Institute of Technology to the Subcommittee on Defense Committee on Appropriations United States Senate

Abstract

Chairman Stevens, Ranking Member Inouye and members of the Subcommittee, on behalf of the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, I would like to express our great appreciation for the support that the Subcommittee has provided to RIT over the past four years. Your Subcommittee has provided a total of $8 million over the past four fiscal years in support of our remanufacturing research program with the Office of Naval Research. We have used these funds to undertake a series of projects to develop, demonstrate and implement new and innovative concepts that the Navy can use for the design of new systems and the remanufacturing of existing ones.
