Letter from House Members to House Leadership Regarding $2 Billion Additional NASA Funding Request
"We write to urge you to include $2 billion in funding for NASA in either a second economic stimulus package or the supplemental appropriations bill. Investing these much-needed resources in NASA will reimburse the agency for funds spent on return - to - flight expenses following the Columbia disaster and for repairs needed following Hurricanes Rita and Katrina. In addition, these funds will help close the gap between the Shuttle and Constellation programs to minimize our dependence on Russia. We believe these funds will provide an immediate and long-term economic stimulus for our nation's economy as well through additional investments in science and aeronautics R&D."
Editor's note: Looking at who signed this letter, one reader asks: "Where's the Florida House delegation?" It would seem that Sen. Nelson has a little more arm twisting to do.
