David Goldston was appointed to run the House Committee on Science in January 2001, where he oversees a committee with jurisdiction over most of the federal civilian research and development budget, including programs run by NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Energy, the Department of Commerce, and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Prior to becoming staff director, Goldston was Legislative Director for Congressman Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY), who became Chairman of the Science Committee in January 2001. Boehlert is a leading moderate Republican and has led Republican efforts to protect the environment.
Between 1985–1994, while working for Boehlert as the Special Assistant on the Subcommittee on Science, Research and Technology, Goldston oversaw the programs of the NSF and the National Institute of Standards and Technology and also directed Boehlert's efforts to shut down the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC).
