Campaign Update: House Subcommittee Helps Save Our Science

June 14, 2006

Today, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Science, the Departments of State, Justice, and Commerce, and Related Agencies marked-up the NASA budget, prior to sending the budget to full Committee.

Louis Friedman, the Executive Director of the Planetary Society, issued the following statement regarding the mark-up:

"Today's mark-up considerably helps to restore science to its proper place in NASA's program, but it is only the first step in the Congressional process. The funding for exploring Europa is terrific news, and we hope NASA will embrace a new start for this project. Restoration of some additional science funding also helps, although 80% of the Administration cuts still remain. We will seek even broader Congressional support to continue restoring science funding."
