NASA FY09 Science Budget Hearing
“Added Udall, “NASA’s challenging new science initiatives are to be built on a budget that increases by only 1% through FY11, and that assumes only inflationary increases at best in the years beyond that. There will be little new money–instead, there will be a continuing need to transfer of funds across the science accounts to support each new initiative–an approach some might call ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul’. I’m very concerned that such an approach will not prove sustainable or credible.”
