mr. weber: i appreciate that. i appreciate congressman marshall's bill coming up today. mr. speaker, i rise in support of h.r. 4675, the low-dose radiation research act of 2018. this legislation authorizes a research program on the health effects of low-dose radiation within department of energy's office of science. currently, key functions of the united states nuclear and medical industries are guided by assumption-based radiation dose limits and protections. in order to best serve our nation's energy, medical, and defense needs, we need foundational research in the radiology and biology to directly define the impact of low doses of radiation. the united states should not rely on a, quote, best approximation, end quote, when it comes to our nuclear regulate policies. mr. speaker, today we have an opportunity to ensure that we as a nation are doing everything we can to make certain that the regulations, the guidelines, and the protections that we put in place are grounded in sound science. agai
