Quiver AI Summary
Representative Valerie Foushee and bipartisan colleagues have voiced strong opposition to a proposed 47% cut to NASA's Science Mission Directorate in the President's FY2026 budget request. In a letter to NASA Acting Administrator Sean Duffy, they argue such reductions threaten U.S. leadership in science and technology, potentially jeopardizing national security and educational opportunities.
The lawmakers emphasize the importance of NASA's science missions for technological advancement and workforce development, noting that budget cuts could undermine the pipeline for future STEM professionals. They also raised concerns over possible early implementations of these cuts, which they argue would violate congressional authority over funding decisions.
