Quiver AI Summary
Lawmakers propose new technology office: Reps.

They said it would restore Congress’s access to “independent” scientific and technical analysis.
Bill aims to rebuild expertise: The release says Congress once had the Office of Technology Assessment, which was defunded in 1995. Supporters argue a new office would help lawmakers assess issues such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, biotechnology and energy policy, and provide “non-partisan” advice on legislation.
