Federal Helium Reserve Remains Open

A horrible event was avoided occurred when President Obama signed a bill to let the Federal Helium Reserve to continue business. This Reserve in Texas was responsible of 42% of helium in U.S. and over 30% of the worlds. This reserve was meant to close October 7th, but luckily President Obama signed this bill to avoid the law that was going to close this reserve. Chemical services and centers rely on this place to provide helium everyday, and was just nearly avoided closing
