Bob Bennett: “So take the opportunity to ask for a little money out of the----”

I can understand the impulse for a moratorium. I am not at all sure that a blanket moratorium as broad as this one will produce any higher degree of safety than a more targeted kind of thing.

Most disturbing to me and others who share my concern about this--this is not strictly a Utah parochial issue--is the lack of evidence--it is a complete lack of evidence--of any coordination between the National Aeronautics and Space…

I think the implications for this are very serious. NASA, I think, is making a mistake.

I would urge you to have conversations with whatever 'elves' within the administration you deal with, over at OMB, because I think that's where the decision was made.
