Budget Worries at Langley

Lawmakers warn Langley could face cuts, WVEC

“Virginia congressman warned employees of NASA Langley Research Center, which was largely spared from sharp cuts this year, that the upcoming budget looks even tighter. “I think we’re going to have the same problem as last year, but bigger,” said U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Davis, R-1st District.”

“In the past 18 months, about 600 workers – half of them civil service – have left the center after a budget reduction necessitated a cutback. Most left in the past year, and more might have lost their jobs if Congress hadn’t added $60 million to the aeronautics budget.”
