Maryland Delegation Members Slam OMB’s Proposed NASA Goddard Cuts, Vow to Fight Back Against NASA Budget

Today, U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks and Representatives Steny Hoyer, Kweisi Mfume, Jamie Raskin, Glenn Ivey, Sarah Elfreth, April McClain Delaney, and Johnny Olszewski released the following statement regarding the Office of Management and Budget’s proposed cuts to NASA Goddard missions:

“Maryland is the proud home to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and to many of the men and women who conduct the vital work being done there and at its partner launch site, NASA Wallops Flight Facility. This work is critical to our exploration of space, our understanding of the universe and the planet we live on, our development of new, innovative technologies, and our national security. Cutting NASA Goddard’s missions would not only be harmful to our state – the negative impacts would be felt across the country. That’s why we’re committed to protecting the missions at NASA Goddard, and together we will push back against this NASA budget proposal.”
