The bipartisan leaders of the House Science Committee have requested government investigators examine why federal agencies disagree so starkly about the risks 5G communications technology poses to weather forecasting.
In a letter sent Tuesday to the comptroller general, Science Committee Chairman Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Tex.) and Rep. Frank D. Lucas (R-Okla.), the ranking Republican, requested the Government Accountability Office, which is the investigative arm of Congress, look into the reasons for the discrepancies between the views of the Federal Communications Commission, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA regarding the potential for certain 5G technology to interfere with crucial weather data-gathering instruments aboard polar orbiting satellites.
