I believe that Alan Stern was AA for Science when that budget was put together. Did Mr. Stern propose that cut or did he oppose it? I think that is relevant to his concern over large cost increases, as the NMP was intended to reduce risk for new technologies. If Alan supported eliminating New Millenium, then can he provide his reasons?Phil Horzempahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877760318970050320noreply@blogger.com
