Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, announced on June 5 that they have a bill, S 1946, to bolster space cooperation among the four Quad (Quadrilateral Security Dialogue) member countries.
