Merry F#!*ing Christmas NASA - from Congress

2007 year budget to clone the 2006 budget with no earmarks or emergency appropriations

This implies no increases for NASA or NSF.

"...NASA expects to adjust priorities within the Science, Aeronautics and Exploration appropriations account to manage the impact."

This is otherwise know as "find some place to cut". Guess where.

Hopefully the American Competitiveness issue will let NASA and NSF be exempt from the flat funding.

"NASA has been informed by Committee staff that the assumption for the full-year FY 2007 joint resolution is expected to be the "current rate," defined as FY 2006 enacted levels, minus FY 2006 emergency supplemental appropriations. Committee staff have indicated that they will consider some exceptions to this formula.""
