The House passed an omnibus spending bill Sept. 14 that included funding for NASA. The bill combined eight individual appropriations bills, including the commerce, justice and science (CJS) bill. The omnibus bill left intact the provisions in the CJS bill giving NASA nearly $19.9 billion for 2018. The full Senate has yet to take up its version of the bill. Congress this month passed a continuing resolution that will fund the government when the 2018 fiscal year starts Oct. 1 until Dec. 8, giving Congress additional time to finalize a 2018 bill.
