  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican standards 
on member requests, I am submitting the following information regarding 
congressionally directed appropriation projects I sponsored as part of 
H.R. 2847, FY 2010 Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Act.
  Agency/Account: NASA
  Amount: $1,000,000
  Requesting Entity: Texas Tech University, 2500 Broadway, Lubbock, TX 
79409
  This funding will be used towards providing engineering support for 
extended human and robotic space flight missions, which will directly 
contribute to NASA's initiative of returning to the moon and going to 
Mars. For human and robotic missions, the Center for Space Sciences is 
addressing the need for a decreased reliance on mission control due to 
the communication delays that occur in long distance missions.
