Washington, DC -- Congresswoman Suzanne Kosmas, D-New Smyrna Beach, defended NASA's human spaceflight program and the thousands of Central Florida jobs it supports by voting today against drastic cuts to exploration funding.
Kosmas, the first-tem congresswoman representing the 24th district, voted no on the FY 2010 Commerce-Justice-Science Appropriations bill, which provides only $3.3 billion for exploration, $670 million less than the President Obama's budget request.
