Nasas Fiscal Year 1994 Budget PDF Download

Excerpt from Nasa's Fiscal Year 1994 Budget: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Space of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, April 20, 1993 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:42 a.m., in room SR-253 of the Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. John D. Rockefeller IV (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Staff members assigned to this hearing: Steven O. Palmer, senior professional staff member; and Louis C. Whitsett, minority staff counsel. Opening Statement of Senator Rockefeller Senator Rockefeller. Good morning everyone. I apologize for Senator Bryan's being so early. The subcommittee today begins its review of the fiscal year 1994 budget request for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This is also the first opportunity in the 103d Congress for the Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Space to hear from the NASA Administrator on the state or our Nations space and aeronautics programs. It is definitely a new year. I think that has to be said. One in which change has been the watchword and will continue to be. We have a new President and a new Vice President, both who are not only committed to change, but to ensuring the success of NASA and its programs. We also have before us a NASA administrator who only this month completed his first year in the position, and is considered, at least by this Member, to be highly respected. And the subcommittee, lo and behold, has a new chair not just on the Democratic side but also an excellent new ranking Republican member as well, the distinguished Senator from Montana, Senator Burns. He and I have the good fortune of continuing a working relationship, which goes back since the time that he was here. We have had the same relationship on another subcommittee. And although that may sound like drivel to most of the world, it is very important, in fact, when a ranking and chair relationship work well on the subcommittee basis, as it is just as important and sometimes more important when the staff relationship between Democrat and Republican works well, as it does.
