House appropriations committee to review NASA this week

On the schedule this week for the Commerce, Justice, and Science subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee is a hearing on the oversight of NASA and the NSF, featuring the inspectors general of the two agencies. According to The Hill, this hearing is one of "hundreds" planned by House appropriators to look for places to reduce spending. "The goal of the hearings is to help identify top management challenges and find ways to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in these respective departments and agencies," the chairman of the CJS subcommittee, Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), told the paper. This will be the subcommittee's first NASA-related hearing in the new Congress, and only the second overall after one Wednesday performing a similar review of the Departments of Commerce and Justice. The subcommittee roster in the new Congress features many veterans of the subcommittee from the previous Congress, with some changes reflecting the change in party control and the departure of former chairman Alan Mollohan: Frank Wolf (R-VA), Chairman Jo Bonner (R-AL), Vice-Chair John Culberson (R-TX) Robert Aderholt (R-AL) Steve Austria (R-OH) Tom Graves (R-GA) Kevin Yoder (R-KS) Chaka Fattah (D-PA), Ranking Member Adam Schiff, (D-CA) Mike Honda, (D-CA) José Serrano, (D-NY)
