[i]Culberson's and Wolf's bill would model NASA's budget process after that used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Doing so would make the agency less political and more professional. It calls for the president to appoint the NASA director to a 10-year term and would make the budget cycle multiyear rather than annual. The notion has [Johnson Space Center director Michael] Coats' endorsement. He notes that if they were able to plan out four or five years "it would be amazing what we could do with our team." ...the logical next step is to align the agency's budget cycle with its projects, which tend to be long term in nature. Culberson is right when he says we have to stop "whipsawing" NASA and its people with politically driven budget changes year to year.[/i]
