A Huntsville Times article about today’s release of the President’s FY07 budget proposal includes the following: “This year, the White House budget request is likely to be $439 billion for the Pentagon, about $13 billion for military construction, and about $17.9 billion for the NASA budget, the Associated Press has reported.” As noted as recently as Friday, though, that $17.9 billion is more than a billion dollars too high. It seems that some reporters have confused what Congress authorized for NASA in FY07 with what President has proposed should be appropriated for the agency. It wouldn’t be the first time someone has confused the two.
