    budget Plan
In summary, on February 6, 2006, the President announced the Fiscal Year 2007 budget request for the entire federal government. This included a $16.8 billion request for NASA, which is a 3.2 percent increase from the previous year, not including emergency funds for Hurricane Katrina recovery. This budget reflects the President's commitment to the Vision for Space Exploration, which was first introduced two years prior, despite other government priorities such as natural disasters and the war on terrorism. Links to the general budget information and NASA's 2006 Strategic Plan are also provided.

"This morning [Feb 6, 2006], the President announced the Fiscal Year 2007 budget request for the entire federal government. This includes a $16.8 billion request for NASA, which represents a 3.2 percent increase over the 2006 budget appropriated for NASA, not counting our emergency supplemental needed to recover from Hurricane Katrina.

This budget, with an increase over last year's appropriation, demonstrates the President's commitment to carrying out the Vision for Space Exploration, which he articulated from this stage just over two years ago, and especially so in view of the other pressures on the government in the wake of the greatest natural disaster our nation has faced and the war on terrorism.
