House Warns White House About Cutting Shuttle/ISS Funds

Letter from the House of Representatives to President Bush Regarding NASA’s FY 2007 Budget

“Last year, this same issue was a hard-fought priority and veto fight on your part. NASA now has clear support in Congress and in 2006, regardless of OMB’s actions, the House and Senate are prepared to fight for the Vision. However, OMB’s plan will fly in the face of both House and Senate versions of pending NASA Authorization legislation currently in conference, which will fully fund the Shuttle and the entire Exploration Vision. OMB is on a course to take defeat from the jaws of victory by completely contradicting your own stated priorities and what will almost certainly become the law of the land in the authorization bill.”
