 Newly Signed Federal Budget Is Favorable to Science

Budget bill signed by Trump this afternoon shows bipartisan congressional support for Earth and space sciences despite the administration’s initial goal of cutting nondefense discretionary spending.
 

By Randy Showstack 5 May 2017

A new budget that funds the U.S. government through the current fiscal year (FY 2017) maintains levels of funding comparable to FY 2016 for federal science agencies. President Donald Trump signed the budget bill into law today before the continuing resolution that is currently funding the government expired. FY 2017 ends on 30 September.
