"The Coalition for Space Exploration, consisting of 42 aerospace companies and 11 industry associations, respectfully urges your support for an FY07 NASA budget of not less than $16.962B --- the funding proposed in the President's budget submittal last year for FY07."

Statement by the Press Secretary, White House

"On Tuesday, November 22, 2005, the President signed into law: ... H.R. 2862, the "Science, State, Justice, Commerce, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006,"

AIP FYI #163: NASA Appropriations

"NASA will receive slightly more than a two-percent increase to its budget under the FY 2006 Science, State, Justice and Commerce Appropriations Act. This compares favorably with the Bush Administration's plans to reduce domestic discretionary funding by 1.0%."
