U.S. Deficit Panel Rejects Plan That Would Hit NASA

摘要

A presidential commission tasked with recommending ways to rein in the nation's budget deficit failed to reach consensus on a package of fiscal reforms that included deep spending cuts for NASA and other federal agencies.rnDuring a Dec. 3 public meeting of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, 11 of the panel's 18 members said they would vote in favor of the proposal, leaving it three votes short of the 14-member super-majority needed to send it to the U.S. Congress for consideration.
