Texas' top lawmakers in Congress want President Barack Obama to pony up some of the $787 Billion in economic stimulus money to rescue NASA's manned space program and ensure that astronauts one day will travel beyond the orbiting International Space Station.
Twenty-eight Republican and Democrat members of Texas 34-member delegation, led by Republican Sens. John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison, delivered their appeal by letter on Monday, days before Obama is expected to hear a White House panel of experts recommend greater spending.
The lawmakers asked Obama to divert $3 billion from the unspent portion of the economic stimulus package that continues to be doled out as part of an economic recovery plan stretching over two years.
