Congressman Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY), chairman of the House Science Committee, will announce whether or not he will run for reelection Friday at 3 pm, the Utica Observer-Dispatch reported Thursday. Boehlert, as previously noted here, has apparently decided whether or not he plans to run again; the Utica newspaper article adds that he informed President Bush […] Odds are you haven’t heard of Fairview Park, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb. The city, though, is trying to change that, at least in Washington, after NASA Glenn decided earlier this year to close two office buildings that lie within the city’s boundaries. That closure, according to an article Wednesday in West Life Newspaper, affects the […] The chairman of the House Science Committee released a brief statement shortly after NASA delayed the launch of STS-121 from May to July: “NASA has done exactly the right thing in pushing back the target date for the launch of STS-121 to further address safety concerns,” Boehlert said. “Administrator Griffin has made it clear all […] We should know in the next several days if Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY), chairman of the House Science Committee, will run for another term or retire at the end of this year. One newspaper from Boehlert’s upstate New York district, the Finger Lakes Times, reports that an announcement should come in the next seven to […] Before the FY07 budget was released and everyone’s attention focused on cutbacks in NASA’s science program, there had been some attention to a decision by the agency to delete a methane/LOX engine as a requirement for the CEV. The engine was seen as a technology trailblazer for later human missions to Mars, where in situ […] Yesterday morning Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) spoke at a Space Transportation Association breakfast. Her relatively brief comments (about 20 minutes, including Q&A; Congressman Tom Feeney spoke for nearly an hour at an STA breakfast last month) focused primarily on last year’s NASA authorization bill and the importance of scientific research on the ISS. […] Rep. Tom DeLay handily won the Republican primary for the 22nd District in Texas Tuesday, picking up 62 percent of the vote. Tom Campbell finished a distant second with about 30 percent; two other candidates were in the single digits. However, the 62 percent is far below what DeLay had won in three previous primaries […] The House Science Committee released its “Views and Estimates” about the Preisdent’s FY07 budget proposal earlier today. The report outlines the committee’s (or, rather, the Republican members of the committee; more on the Democrats below) observations and opinions about the budget. Regarding NASA, the report comments on cutbacks in science and aeronautics programs: The significantly […] Party primary elections are taking place today in Texas, and there will be more attention than usual on the Republican primary in the 22nd District, where incumbent Tom DeLay will face three challengers. DeLay’s legal problems have made him more vulnerable than many expected, with some once-loyal supporters having second thoughts and one challenger, Tom […] I haven’t had a chance to fully digest yesterday’s House Science Committee hearing about the effects of the 2007 budget proposal on NASA science programs (I’m on travel at the moment); you can read the opening statements of the witnesses as well as Reps. Boehlert and Calvert, and press releases from the full committee and […] |
