Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The International Space Station, the Space

orbit and to send its astronauts to deep space. As

Administration as priority investments. 
(2) While the Space Launch System and the 
Orion programs, currently under development, have 
made significant progress, they have not been fund-
ed at levels authorized, and as a result congression-
ally authorized milestones will be delayed by several 
years. 
(3) In addition, contractors are currently hold-
ing program funding, estimated to be in the hun-
dreds of millions of dollars, to cover the potential 
termination liability should the Government choose 
to terminate a program for convenience. As a result, 
hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars are unavail-
able for meaningful work on these programs. 
(4) According to the Government Accountability 
Office, the Administration procures most of its 
goods and services through contracts, and it termi-
nates very few of them. In fiscal year 2010, the Ad-
ministration terminated 28 of 16,343 active con-
tracts and orders—a termination rate of about 0.17 
percent.
