order to consider any appropriations legislation, including 7

provisions affecting the Crime Victims Fund (as estab-10

such provision or provisions as described in subsections 19

(b) DETERMINATION.—The determination of whether 21

a provision is subject to a point of order pursuant to this 22

section shall be made by the Committee on the Budget 23

(d) GENERAL POINT OF ORDER.—It shall be in order 6

for a Senator to raise a single point of order that several 7

ference report violate this section. The Presiding Officer 9

may sustain the point of order as to some or all of the 10

provisions against which the Senator raised the point of 11

order. If the Presiding Officer so sustains the point of 12

order as to some of the provisions (including provisions 13

of an amendment, motion, or conference report) against 14

which the Senator raised the point of order, then only 15

those provisions (including provision of an amendment, 16

motion, or conference report) against which the Presiding 17

Officer sustains the point of order shall be deemed strick-18

en pursuant to this section. Before the Presiding Officer 19

rules on such a point of order, any Senator may move to 20

waive such a point of order as it applies to some or all 21

of the provisions against which the point of order was 22

raised. Such a motion to waive is amendable in accordance 23

with rules and precedents of the Senate. After the Pre-24

Senate is considering a conference report on, or an amend-5

ment between the Houses in relation to, a bill, upon a 6

point of order being made by any Senator pursuant to this 7

section, and such point of order being sustained, such ma-8

terial contained in such conference report or amendment 9

shall be deemed stricken, and the Senate shall proceed to 10

consider the question of whether the Senate shall recede 11

from its amendment and concur with a further amend-12

ment, or concur in the House amendment with a further 13

amendment, as the case may be, which further amendment 14

shall consist of only that portion of the conference report 15

or House amendment, as the case may be, not so stricken. 16

Any such motion shall be debatable. In any case in which 17

such point of order is sustained against a conference re-18

port (or Senate amendment derived from such conference 19

report by operation of this subsection), no further amend-20

ment shall be in order. 21

SEC. 504. SENSE OF SENATE ON UNDERUTILIZED FACILI-7

TIES OF THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND 8

SPACE ADMINISTRATION AND THEIR POTEN-9

TIAL USE. 10

(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds the following: 11

(1) The National Aeronautics and Space Ad-12

ministration (NASA) is the ninth largest real prop-13

erty holder of the Federal Government, with more 14

than 124,000 acres and more than 4,900 buildings 15

and other structures with a replacement value of 16

more than $30,000,000,000. 17

(2) The annual operation and maintenance 18

costs of the National Aeronautics and Space Admin-19

istration have increased steadily, and, as of 2012, 20

the Administration has more than $2,300,000,000 21

in annual deferred maintenance costs. 22

(3) According to Office of Inspector General 23

(OIG) of the National Aeronautics and Space Ad-24

ministration, the Administration continues to retain 25

137

† SCON 8 ES

real property that is underutilized, does not have 1

identified future mission uses, or is duplicative of 2

other assets in its real property inventory. 3

(4) The Office of Inspector General, the Gov-4

ernment Accountability Office (GAO), and Congress 5

have identified the aging and duplicative infrastruc-6

ture of the National Aeronautics and Space Admin-7

istration as a high priority and longstanding man-8

agement challenge. 9

(5) In the NASA Authorization Act of 2010, 10

Congress directed the National Aeronautics and 11

Space Administration to examine its real property 12

assets and downsize to fit current and future mis-13

sions and expected funding levels, paying particular 14

attention to identifying and removing unneeded or 15

duplicative infrastructure. 16

(6) The Office of Inspector General found at 17

least 33 facilities, including wind tunnels, test 18

stands, airfields, and launch infrastructure, that 19

were underutilized or for which National Aeronautics 20

and Space Administration managers could not iden-21

tify a future mission use and that the need for these 22

facilities have declined in recent years as a result of 23

changes in the mission focus of the Administration, 24

138

† SCON 8 ES

the condition and obsolescence of some facilities, and 1

the advent of alternative testing methods. 2

(7) The Office of Inspector General found that 3

the National Aeronautics and Space Administration 4

has taken steps to minimize the costs of continuing 5

to maintain some of these facilities by placing them 6

in an inactive state or leasing them to other parties. 7

(8) The National Aeronautics and Space Ad-8

ministration has a series of initiatives underway 9

that, in the judgment of the Office of Inspector Gen-10

eral, are ‘‘positive steps towards ‘rightsizing’ its real 11

property footprint’’, and the Office of Inspector Gen-12

eral has concluded that ‘‘it is imperative that NASA 13

move forward aggressively with its infrastructure re-14

duction efforts’’. 15

(9) Existing and emerging United States com-16

mercial launch and exploration capabilities are pro-17

viding cargo transportation to the International 18

Space Station and offer the potential for providing 19

crew support, access to the International Space Sta-20

tion, and missions to low Earth orbit while the Na-21

tional Aeronautics and Space Administration focuses 22

its efforts on heavy-lift capabilities and deep space 23

missions. 24

139

† SCON 8 ES

(10) National Aeronautics and Space Adminis-1

tration facilities and property that are underutilized, 2

duplicative, or no longer needed for Administration 3

requirements could be utilized by commercial users 4

and State and local entities, resulting in savings for 5

the Administration and a reduction in the burden of 6

the Federal Government to fund space operations. 7

(b) SENSE OF SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate 8

that the levels in this concurrent resolution assume— 9

(1) the National Aeronautics and Space Admin-10

istration should move forward with plans to reduce 11

its infrastructure and, to the greatest extent prac-12

ticable, make property available for lease to a gov-13

ernment or private tenant or report the property to 14

the General Services Administration (GSA) for sale 15

or transfer to another entity; 16

(2) the National Aeronautics and Space Admin-17

istration should pursue opportunities for streamlined 18

sale or lease of property and facilities, including for 19

exclusive use, to a private entity, or expedited con-20

veyance or transfer to a State or political subdivi-21

sion, municipality, instrumentality of a State, or De-22

partment of Transportation-licensed launch site op-23

erators for the promotion of commercial or scientific 24

140

† SCON 8 ES

space activity and for developing and operating 1

space launch facilities; and 2

(3) leasing or transferring underutilized facili-3

ties and properties to commercial space entities or 4

State or local governments will reduce operation and 5

maintenance costs for the National Aeronautics and 6

Space Administration, save money for the Federal 7

Government, and promote commercial space and the 8

exploration goals of the Administration and the 9

United States. 10

Passed the Senate March 23 (legislative day, March

22), 2013.
