Not A Stake Through Its Heart

…but it looks like HR5781 is mostly dead in its current form:

A controversial House NASA authorization bill that appeared headed for a floor vote July 30 has stalled, and it appears unlikely the measure will be taken up before lawmakers leave town for a six-week summer break that begins Aug. 2.

House leadership aides said just before midnight July 29 that the bill, a three-year authorization that recommends funding the U.S. space agency at roughly $19 billion a year through 2013, would not be taken up July 30, and that it is very unlikely the measure will come to a vote before lawmakers head home to campaign in their districts.

This at least buys some time to either fix it more in accordance with the Senate plan, or kill it altogether.

  1. IcePilot, I sat here scratching my head, wondering why I didn’t understand your comment. That it made absolutely NO sense at all had me thinking that I needed a secret decoder ring or something.

    So I backed out of here and saw the article you meant to post it under.

    What a relief!
