Senate Panel Near Agreement on Bill to Roll Back NASA Changes, NY Times

It would also slow down a rush to invest in commercial rockets by requiring companies to demonstrate their capabilities before receiving large contracts for delivering astronauts to the International Space Station, said a staff member who was not authorized to speak for attribution."
