Your letter asked us (1) for information regarding the planning activities of NASA staff after the President submitted his fiscal year 2011 budget request; (2) whether NASA complied with the provision in the Exploration appropriation which prohibits the use of the Exploration appropriation to “create or initiate a new program, project or activity;” (3) whether NASA has obligated Exploration appropriations in a manner consistent with the Impoundment Control Act; and (4) whether NASA complied with the provision in the Exploration appropriation which prohibits the use of the Exploration appropriation for “the termination or elimination of any program, project or activity of the architecture for the Constellation program.” We responded to your first two questions in a previous letter. B-319488, May 21, 2010. In that letter, we provided information on planning activities and determined that NASA had not violated the provision in the Exploration appropriation that bars NASA from using the Exploration appropriation to “create or initiate a new program, project or activity.” Id.

  • Mccain and Obama Could Both Help Alabama Congressional Candidates

    Mccain and Obama Could Both Help Alabama Congressional Candidates

    al.com's Printer-Friendly Page Page 1 of 2 McCain and Obama could both help Alabama congressional candidates Sunday, November 02, 2008 By BRIAN LYMAN Capital Bureau MONTGOMERY - Alabama will probably go for John McCain in Tuesday's presidential election, observers say, but Barack Obama's presence on the ballot might help Democrats in three competitive congressional races. Reflecting the unusual dynamics of the national race this year, experts say both candidates could have coattails for down-ballot nominees. Observers say McCain's likely landslide in Alabama will help Republicans, but that increased registration among Democratic-leaning black voters should aid Democrats on the ticket. A SurveyUSA poll published Oct. 29 showed McCain leading in Alabama 61 percent to 39 percent. "In a presidential election, Republican voters are going to come out and vote anyway," said Bruce Oppenheimer, a political science professor at Vanderbilt University. "Even if not enthused, they're going to come out and vote. "(But) there's a clear feeling nationally that ironically, Obama may be helping (Democratic) candidates," even if Obama loses the state to McCain, Oppenheimer said. In north Alabama's 5th Congressional District, Democrat Bud Cramer is retiring. State Sen. Parker Griffith, D-Huntsville, is squaring off against Republican Wayne Parker. Meanwhile, Democrat Bobby Bright, the mayor of Montgomery, is running neck-and-neck with Republican state Rep. Jay Love of Montgomery to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Terry Everett, a Republican, in the 2nd Congressional District, a GOP stronghold since 1964. Montgomery attorney Joshua Segall, a Democrat, is also mounting a campaign against U.S.
