United States Senator Jerry Moran toured the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility on Friday.
Moran says the purpose for his visit was to discuss NBAF workforce attraction and retention, the continued relationship between the Department of Homeland Security and United States Department of Agriculture and the facility’s safety and capabilities.
“Both for the safety of the people in the country, safety from concerns I have with other countries being interested in learning our science, particularly China, and particularly with what we’ve seen with a human pandemic – the safety of our livestock industry and the food supply chain in the United States from either an intentional or unintentional attack,” Moran said.
