and the Sun Valley Company) to be non-discretionary ac-
tions authorized and directed by Congress and hence to
comply with all procedural and other requirements of the
laws of the United States.

port to the Committee on Resources of the United States
House of Representatives and the Committee on Energy and
Natural Resources of the United States Senate as to whether

Subtitle A—General Provisions

This title may be cited as the ‘‘National Aeronautics
and Space Administration Authorization Act, Fiscal Year
1996’’.
SEC. 202. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The National Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration has failed to request sufficient funds to
perform all missions it has proposed in annual budg-
et requests. For fiscal year 1996, the budget re-
quested is $140,000,000 below the amount required
to fulfill program commitments made by the fiscal
year 1995 budget approved by Congress. The re-
quest for fiscal year 1996 proposes continued
underfunding of the requirements of the National
Aeronautics 
and 
Space 
Administration 
by
$439,000,000 for fiscal year 1997, $847,000,000 for
fiscal year 1998, $1,189,000,000 for fiscal year
1999, and $1,532,000,000 for fiscal year 2000.

Such duties include meteorological, hydrological, and
