A month went by and they heard nothing and the budget debate was looming. So, the NASA director contacted the Texas congressional "group" asking for help. One rep met with NASA officials and told them they would get their funding, but they had to change the focus of the study. The study had to be: Documenting the Effects of Catastrophic Global Warming on the Poles. In other words, they had to operate from the premise GW was true, and not seek to "learn the truth."
BTW, as an aside, either THE director of NASA or someone close to the top is from Natchitoches and is an NSU grad. I've met him, but can't remember his name.
