In legislative terms, a markup is a special session held to amend a bill. The National Nanotechnology (NNI) Amendment Act was scheduled for markup in the House Committee on Science and Technology at 11 am on May 7, 2008, in Rayburn 2318. Most of the amendments were related to education, so I thought I should observe this step of the process - even though I'd been warned that it was totally unpredicable how long this process might take.
