Congress Approves $18.45 Billion for NASA

摘要

The U.S. Congress included $18.45 billion for NASA in the hard-fought spending compromise lawmakers passed April 14 to fund the federal government for the last five months of the 2011 budget year. Enactment of the budget compromise - which Congress and the White House reached April 8 to avert a government shutdown - brings an end to the uncertainty that has frustrated decision-making at NASA and other federal agencies since the new fiscal year began last October.
