handle is hein.congrec/cbo10100 and id is 1 raw text is: November 3, 2008 Honorable Dave Weldon, M.D. U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Congressman: In response to your request, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has analyzed the human spaceflight program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration- and, in particular, its plans for development of the Ares 1 and Orion vehicles as part of its Constellation Program. The enclosed report addresses the likelihood of a delay in retiring the space shuttle and in attaining initial operating capability for the new vehicles; the potential impact of such delays on the gap in U.S. human spaceflight after the shuttle is retired; and the budgetary implications of various possible develop- ments, in light of the lower-than-requested funding provided in the Revised Continu- ing Appropriations Resolution, 2007 (Public Law 110-5). If you would like further details, we would be pleased to provide them. The analysis was prepared by Kevin Eveker, who can be reached at (202) 226-2973. Sincerely, Peter R. Orszag Enclosure Identical letter sent to the Honorable John Culberson and the Honorable Robert Aderholt
