Sen. Hutchison Cosponsors Bill to Ensure America’s Competitive Advantage

“Building on Sen. Hutchison’s recent NASA authorization legislation, one key portion of the bill would increase the basic research budget for NASA, helping to maintain our leadership in space exploration and the broader fields of research and technology.”

Letter from Sen. Hutchison to President Bush Regarding Funding for the International Space Station

“The funding projections by the OMB do not provide adequate resources for the number of shuttle missions necessary to complete and outfit the International Space Station.This poses a direct threat to the billions of taxpayers’ dollars invested in the development of that important laboratory facility – one that has now, by virtue of your signature, been designated as a national laboratory, an important national asset with enormous potential for providing benefits to all of us.”
