NASA Officials Warn of Tight Budgets Ahead By Amy Klamper in Space News

“Budgets were tight when I was here in the 90s, but they’re even tighter today,” said Garver, who served as associate administrator of NASA policy and plans under the administration of President Bill Clinton. “Our budget has to compete with not only other scientific programs but all government service. To earn our trust from taxpayers we have to help create a better future through programs aligned with both the short-term and long-term national interest.”
