This year, given the recent action on the budget measures, it is possible that the congress could assume the legislation of loans for most of the federal government, including NASA before 1 October.
Certainly, there is a motivation to do this, because the White House and the office of management and budget, led by Russ Vought, has indicated that it is planning to take measures that would implement the budget request of the presidents, which would determine considerably lower expenditure for NASA and other Federal Agencies.
For example, as Ars reported earlier this month, the most important researchers of NASA science missions that the White House wants to kill have told to make termination plans that can be implemented within three months, starting from 1 October.
Whether there is or closes a continuous resolution, then the White House probably seems to go to court to implement its expenditure priorities at federal agencies, including NASA.
The Congress recognizes the threat
This week, the rankings of House Committee by supervision of NASA here in a letter to Sean Duffy, the Secretary of Transport, who recently appointed interim manager of NASA, raised in a letter to Sean Duffy.
NASA seems to act in accordance with a frills, extremist ideology that comes from the White House Office of Management and Budget that claims a right to seize funds assigned by the congress for the priorities of the executive power. Bovendien lijkt het erop dat het agentschap van plan is om financieringsverlagingen te implementeren die nooit door het Congres zijn vastgesteld om het hedendaagse budget van het agentschap te “afstemmen” met het slash-and-burn-voorgestelde budget van de Trump-administratie voor het volgende fiscale jaar, met schijnbaar geen bezorgdheid over de verwoesting die zal worden veroorzaakt door massale ontslagen, brede programmatoringen en de mogelijke afsluiting From critical centers and facilities. These decisions are wrong and they are not yours to make.
The letter reminds Duffy that the congress determines the budget and federal agencies work on those budget levels. However, the legislators say that NASA is making progress with the financing of freezing for different programs that reduce employees throughout the office. About 2,700 employees have left the agency since the start of the Trump administration.
