'We have to keep up space funding,” Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) says
Congress must resist the temptation to cut funding from military space programs despite the enormous financial pressure on the defense budget from combating the coronavirus, says Rep. Doug Lamborn , a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
Lamborn also spoke to POLITICO about his new efforts to bring more space operations to Colorado and to help space companies weather the pandemic, including protecting their supply chains from disruptions. “I’ve hired someone in my office … full-time on staff just to help with defense companies because there's so much going on,” he said. ”I want companies to view us as a resource that can help.
"We will start immediately jumping into subcommittee work with the full committee right after that," he said. "But a lot of people are really cautious about going back. … I’m not sure if that deadline won't slip to the right."What impact is the pandemic having on Colorado space companies?
