U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, today issued this statement following successful passage of the NASA Authorization Act of 2010 by the U.S. House of Representatives:

"I applaud the House of Representatives for passage of the NASA Authorization Act of 2010. Thanks to the efforts of Senator Hutchison and Congressmen Hall, Olson, and other Members of our Texas delegation, we have helped provide direction to NASA and renewed our commitment to retaining a robust human space program.

"The actions of this Administration have left NASA and the men and women who work there in limbo, questioning our nation's level of commitment to their mission and their job security. While this bill isn't a complete fix, it is a strong step in the right direction, and I will continue to work to ensure that an ambitious human spaceflight program represents our nation's future, and not merely its past."
