Feeney Statement on the NASA Authorization Act

(Washington, D.C.) - Today, U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney (R-Oviedo) issued the following statement in support of H.R. 3070, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act of 2005, which passed the House by a vote of 383-15:

"In the aftermath of the Columbia accident, many on Capitol Hill and the space community observed the drift in America's human spaceflight program. The President responded with the Vision for Space Exploration. I'm pleased that this bill embraces the Vision and enjoys bipartisan support and I thank the leadership exhibited on both sides of the aisle for this endorsement.

"America's Vision for Space Exploration provides a logical, paced, and sustainable transition from current vehicles and missions to an exploration and science agenda that breaks out of low earth orbit and ensures America will be a spacefaring nation. America will return the Shuttle to flight, complete the International Space Station, and then extend our presence to the Moon, Mars, and beyond."
