On the recordJune 28, 2006
I just wanted to give you some specifics. This is a tight budget year, as we all know. And just to cite one of the accounts that this amendment would obviously devastate, we have already reduced the lunar precursor robotics program by $20 million. There is a $16 million reduction in the constellation systems, $115 million reduction in the exploration systems research technology. Total reduction already in this bill, $151 million from the President's request; and, obviously, a huge cut like this would devastate it further. So I would recommend a ``no'' vote on the Gilchrest amendment. But I applaud the gentleman for his passion on this issue.
