House Science Committee Hearing Charter: NASA’s Science Mission Directorate: Impacts of the Fiscal Year 2007 Budget Proposal

House Science Committee to Explore FY 2007 Budget Impact on NASA Science Programs

The Committee plans to explore the following overarching questions at the hearing:

  • How did NASA determine its science priorities for the FY07 budget? To what extent are NASA’s priorities based on the decadal surveys in which scientists determine the priorities for their fields? Do those surveys need to be redone now that science funding may be lower than was expected?

    Editor’s note: Gee that’s an easy one to answer. I am reminded of the quote by famous bank robber Willie Sutton: “I rob banks because that’s where the money is.”
