<b> HEAVY LIFT ISSUE TO BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY </b> (so where is SG, anyway...?) <i> <br />The conferees are concerned that the current implementation plans for the new vision do not properly address the requirements for the heavy lift capability that may be necessary to carry out the space exploration initiative. A complete review of such plans must be conducted prior to embarking fully upon the implementation of the initiative. In order to assess heavy lift capability needs, NASA shall report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate, no later than 180 days from the date of enactment of this Act, regarding NASA's heavy lift capability needs and plans to meet those needs immediately and in the future.

The conferees direct NASA to report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate on the status of their plan to service Hubble and the recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences within 90 days of enactment of this Act. </i><br /><br /><b> LRO: Large cuts, science instrument MANDATE </b><br /><i> The conferees have provided $10,000,000 for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), a reduction of $60,000,000 from the budget request. NASA should continue with its announcement of opportunity for scientific instruments with these funds. However, in establishing the criteria for instrument selection, not less than 25 percent of the LRO's scientific instrumentation funding shou</i>
