House Speaker Dennis Hastert has appointed two additional Republicans, Randy Neugebauer (TX) and Mario Diaz-Balart (FL), to fill vacancies on the House Science Committee. Diaz-Balart will get a seat on the space subcommittee; he said in the committee’s statement that he looks forward to, among other things, “address[ing] issues facing NASA.”
The full committee has one hearing scheduled this week, Thursday at 10 am, where they will take up the “Inspector General Report on NOAA Weather Satellites”.
