Mikulski Vows To Balance NASA's Science and Exploration Funding

摘要

The top Democrat on the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee said Nov. 16 that she will seek to support both science and exploration programs in the final version of a 2016 spending bill her committee is working on. Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) told an audience at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) here that she was working very closely with Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), chairman of the appropriations subcommittee that funds NASA, to craft a bill that takes advantage of increased spending caps for fiscal year 2016 to better support agency programs.
