12 10601)) which constitutes a change in a mandatory pro13 gram that would have been estimated as affecting direct 

14 spending or receipts under section 252 of the Balanced 

15 Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (as 

16 in effect prior to September 30, 2002) were they included

6 (d) GENERAL POINT OF ORDER.—It shall be in order

10 may sustain the point of order as to some or all of the 

11 provisions against which the Senator raised the point of 

12 order. If the Presiding Officer so sustains the point of 

13 order as to some of the provisions (including provisions 

14 of an amendment, motion, or conference report) against 

15 which the Senator raised the point of order, then only 

16 those provisions (including provision of an amendment, 

17 motion, or conference report) against which the Presiding 

18 Officer sustains the point of order shall be deemed strick19 en pursuant to this section. Before the Presiding Officer 

20 rules on such a point of order, any Senator may move to 

21 waive such a point of order as it applies to some or all 

22 of the provisions against which the point of order was 

23 raised. Such a motion to waive is amendable in accordance 

24 with rules and precedents of the Senate. After the Pre25 siding Officer rules on such a point of order, any Senator 
129 

†SCON 8 ES 

1 may appeal the ruling of the Presiding Officer on such 

2 a point of order as it applies to some or all of the provi3 sions on which the Presiding Officer ruled. 

4 (e) FORM OF THE POINT OF ORDER.—When the 

5 Senate is considering a conference report on, or an amend6 ment between the Houses in relation to, a bill, upon a 

7 point of order being made by any Senator pursuant to this 

8 section, and such point of order being sustained, such ma9 terial contained in such conference report or amendment 

10 shall be deemed stricken, and the Senate shall proceed to 

11 consider the question of whether the Senate shall recede 

12 from its amendment and concur with a further amend13 ment, or concur in the House amendment with a further 

14 amendment, as the case may be, which further amendment 

15 shall consist of only that portion of the conference report 

16 or House amendment, as the case may be, not so stricken. 

17 Any such motion shall be debatable. In any case in which 

18 such point of order is sustained against a conference re19 port (or Senate amendment derived from such conference 

20 report by operation of this subsection), no further amend21 ment shall be in order. 

22 SEC. 405. SUPERMAJORITY ENFORCEMENT.

11 order under this resolution and the Congressional Budget 

12 Act of 1974, this resolution, any previous resolution, and 

13 any subsequent budget resolution, provisions contained in 

14 any bill, resolution, amendment, motion, or conference re15 port that increases any guarantee fees of Fannie Mae and 

16 Freddie Mac shall not be scored with respect to the level

7 SEC. 504. SENSE OF SENATE ON UNDERUTILIZED FACILI8 TIES OF THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND 

9 SPACE ADMINISTRATION AND THEIR POTEN10 TIAL USE. 

11 (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds the following: 

12 (1) The National Aeronautics and Space Ad13 ministration (NASA) is the ninth largest real prop14 erty holder of the Federal Government, with more 

15 than 124,000 acres and more than 4,900 buildings 

16 and other structures with a replacement value of 

17 more than $30,000,000,000. 

18 (2) The annual operation and maintenance 

19 costs of the National Aeronautics and Space Admin20 istration have increased steadily, and, as of 2012, 

21 the Administration has more than $2,300,000,000 

22 in annual deferred maintenance costs. 

23 (3) According to Office of Inspector General 

24 (OIG) of the National Aeronautics and Space Ad25 ministration, the Administration continues to retain 
137 

†SCON 8 ES 

1 real property that is underutilized, does not have 

2 identified future mission uses, or is duplicative of 

3 other assets in its real property inventory. 

4 (4) The Office of Inspector General, the Gov5 ernment Accountability Office (GAO), and Congress 

6 have identified the aging and duplicative infrastruc7 ture of the National Aeronautics and Space Admin8 istration as a high priority and longstanding man9 agement challenge. 

10 (5) In the NASA Authorization Act of 2010, 

11 Congress directed the National Aeronautics and 

12 Space Administration to examine its real property 

13 assets and downsize to fit current and future mis14 sions and expected funding levels, paying particular 

15 attention to identifying and removing unneeded or 

16 duplicative infrastructure. 

17 (6) The Office of Inspector General found at 

18 least 33 facilities, including wind tunnels, test 

19 stands, airfields, and launch infrastructure, that 

20 were underutilized or for which National Aeronautics 

21 and Space Administration managers could not iden22 tify a future mission use and that the need for these 

23 facilities have declined in recent years as a result of 

24 changes in the mission focus of the Administration, 
138 

†SCON 8 ES 

1 the condition and obsolescence of some facilities, and 

2 the advent of alternative testing methods. 

3 (7) The Office of Inspector General found that 

4 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration 

5 has taken steps to minimize the costs of continuing 

6 to maintain some of these facilities by placing them 

7 in an inactive state or leasing them to other parties. 

8 (8) The National Aeronautics and Space Ad9 ministration has a series of initiatives underway 

10 that, in the judgment of the Office of Inspector Gen11 eral, are ‘‘positive steps towards ‘rightsizing’ its real 

12 property footprint’’, and the Office of Inspector Gen13 eral has concluded that ‘‘it is imperative that NASA 

14 move forward aggressively with its infrastructure re15 duction efforts’’. 

16 (9) Existing and emerging United States com17 mercial launch and exploration capabilities are pro18 viding cargo transportation to the International 

19 Space Station and offer the potential for providing 

20 crew support, access to the International Space Sta21 tion, and missions to low Earth orbit while the Na22 tional Aeronautics and Space Administration focuses 

23 its efforts on heavy-lift capabilities and deep space 

24 missions. 
139 

†SCON 8 ES 

1 (10) National Aeronautics and Space Adminis2 tration facilities and property that are underutilized, 

3 duplicative, or no longer needed for Administration 

4 requirements could be utilized by commercial users 

5 and State and local entities, resulting in savings for 

6 the Administration and a reduction in the burden of 

7 the Federal Government to fund space operations. 

8 (b) SENSE OF SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate 

9 that the levels in this concurrent resolution assume— 

10 (1) the National Aeronautics and Space Admin11 istration should move forward with plans to reduce 

12 its infrastructure and, to the greatest extent prac13 ticable, make property available for lease to a gov14 ernment or private tenant or report the property to 

15 the General Services Administration (GSA) for sale 

16 or transfer to another entity; 

17 (2) the National Aeronautics and Space Admin18 istration should pursue opportunities for streamlined 

19 sale or lease of property and facilities, including for 

20 exclusive use, to a private entity, or expedited con21 veyance or transfer to a State or political subdivi22 sion, municipality, instrumentality of a State, or De23 partment of Transportation-licensed launch site op24 erators for the promotion of commercial or scientific 
140 

†SCON 8 ES 

1 space activity and for developing and operating 

2 space launch facilities; and 

3 (3) leasing or transferring underutilized facili4 ties and properties to commercial space entities or 

5 State or local governments will reduce operation and 

6 maintenance costs for the National Aeronautics and 

7 Space Administration, save money for the Federal 

8 Government, and promote commercial space and the 

9 exploration goals of the Administration and the 

10 United States.
