One Small Step
Per Space Politics: A blurb in this week's Aviation Week (not online) notes that Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX), the House majority leader, has taken over work on introducing a NASA authorization bill that would support the President's space exploration plan. House Science Committee chairman Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY), had planned to introduce the President's version of the NASA authorization "as a courtesy" while working on his own version of the legislation, which he apparently plans to continue. With both DeLay's influence as well as his interest in the plan—he is one of the few Congressional leaders to broadly praise the plan, and his district now includes JSC—this move would seem to raise the odds that the President's plan will make it through the House, at least in an authorization bill.
