Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives July 15, 2005

"This proposal would redirect $168 million to the Science, Aeronautics and Exploration account from the Exploration Capabilities account. This would result from a reallocation of $168 million for ISS Crew/Cargo Services from the Space Operations Mission Directorate in the Exploration Capabilities account to the Constellation Systems Theme of the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate. In addition, $135 million would be realigned within the Science, Aeronautics and Exploration account. This would result from a reallocation of $135 million for the Lunar Robotic Exploration Program from the Science Mission Directorate to the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate. Both changes would be made in order to better align budget and management responsibility."
