Under the bill approved by the committee, $387 million would be available for research and development between Oct 1, when the next fiscal year begins, and April IS, when the next president would have to decide whether to continue with the space station. Another $65.4 million would be held in an account and should the president decide not to proceed further, those funds would be used to shut down the program.
