Patrick Canan
Department of Energy
Capitol Hill in the office of Senator Mark Hatfield (R-OR)
1992-93
Oregon – high school science
“I [was] involved in the education-related legislative initiatives of the Senator, particularly those relating to math and science. The specific legislative areas in which I worked were preparing for resubmission two bills from the 102nd Congress, the Elementary Science Equipment Act and the Educational Flexibility Act. . . . I prepared amendments for the Labor committee on Goals 2000 and have rewritten some as amendments to be introduced when the bill comes to the floor. Finally, I incorporated several of Senator Hatfield’s initiatives in math/science education in reauthorization legislation for Eisenhower, including a pilot program, Science Start, that will provide training in sciences to Head Start Teachers.” “… in Oregon I’ll be able to give valuable advice to my professional organizations as to how they can be effective advocates for education… My students will … hear civics mixed in with lessons on physics.”
