                    LATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS FOR
                    FISCAL YEAR 2013


                                 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 2012

                                                        U.S. SENATE,
                      SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS,
                                                            Washington, DC.
                   The subcommittee met at 2:03 p.m., in room SD-124, Dirksen
                   Senate Office Building, Hon. Barbara A. Mikulski (chairman) pre-
                   siding.
                   Present: Senators Mikulski, Brown, Hutchison, Shelby, and
                   Cochran.

                   NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION
                   STATEMENT OF CHARLES F. BOLDEN, JR., ADMINISTRATOR
                       OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR BARBARA A. MIKULSKI
                    Senator MIKULSKI. The subcommittee on Commerce, Justice,
                  Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) will come together, and we
                  will be taking the testimony of the Administrator of the National
                  Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Charles F. Bolden.
                  But before we do, I want to say that this is the last public hear-
                  ing of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. This is not her last appear-
                  ance before the subcommittee, but it's our last public hearing on
                  CJS appropriations.
                  And as her good friend and colleague, I have a present for you.
                  This is not a goodbye gift. This is a commemorative gift. But we
                  couldn't let this gathering of people, particularly from America's
                  space program, its leadership, those who are interested in the
                  space community, without taking this opportunity to just thank
                  you for being a really great senator from Texas, a really great Sen-
                  ator for America and America's future, science, technology, a real
                  advocate for the space program, keeping an eye on the bottom line.
                  We just wanted to let you know this subcommittee, its members
                  and all of us just think the world of you.
                    Senator HUTCHISON. I thank you very much.
                    Senator MIKULSKJ. So let me present that to you. Take a peek.
                    Senator HUTCHISON. Okay. Thank you very much.
                    Senator MIKULSKI. No, it didn't come from him.
                    Senator HUTCHISON. No, I know. I never get gifts from him.
                    Senator MIKULSKI. He's going to give you one in a minute.
                    Senator HUTCHISON. Oh, gosh, this is great.
                    Senator MIKULSKI. Wait until you see this. This is-
