            Last week the House passed S. 3729, the NASA Authorization Act of 2010. Consideration of the Senate bill, and subsequent passage, was necessary to help provide a degree of certainty, stability, and clarity for our nation’s space program, the NASA workforce, and the NASA communities across the country.  However, over the past two months, discussions have been on-going between the House and Senate on development of a compromise NASA Authorization bill that would incorporate the best of the Senate-passed bill and the bill reported by the Committee on Science and Technology on July 22. Last week, we put forward a compromise which we believe met this test. Though every effort was made to secure support for this legislation in both chambers of Congress, an effort to provide for expedited consideration by the Senate of this compromise was unsuccessful.
