Fully Fund NASA's Science Programs for Innovation

The White House's proposed budget cuts to NASA's science programs are deeply concerning. NASA's scientific research and exploration missions are crucial for advancing our understanding of the universe and driving technological innovation. These programs not only inspire future generations but also have far-reaching economic and societal benefits. Congress has recognized the importance of NASA's science endeavors by providing increased funding in recent spending bills. It is imperative that NASA follows the clear intent of Congress and allocates the appropriated funds for science programs as specified. Any attempts at unilateral impoundment or transfer of these resources would undermine the legislative process and hinder scientific progress. I urge you to take action to ensure NASA fully utilizes the funding allocated by Congress for its science programs. This investment in scientific discovery and exploration is vital for maintaining American leadership in space and driving innovation that benefits humanity. NASA's science missions deserve robust and sustained support to unlock new frontiers of knowledge and inspire future generations of explorers and researchers.
