Texas Lawmaker Decries NASA Science Cuts

摘要

In response to what he called "unacceptable" cuts to science programs in NASA's 2007 budget request, Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas) has taken up the cause of the U.S. scientists and engineers who have been expressing outrage about the proposed reductions. In a March 9 "urgent personal letter" to the scientific community, Culberson said he is adamant about restoring funding for such items as a mission to Europa and space science research within NASA.
