31 March 2005 Letter From Reps. Eshoo, Honda, and Lofgren to Michael Griffin regarding NASA Ames Research Center FY06 Funding Issues

“Unless action is taken now to avert a financial disaster at NASA Ames in FY06, irreparable damage will be inflicted on the Center and its future viability. Three of Ames’ most important core competencies are currently facing severe shortfalls which will require immediate assistance to enable them to fulfill the President’s mandate of competition between NASA’s Research Centers.”
