ICYMI: Praise for Two Cruz-Sponsored Bills Signed into Law in Last Two Weeks
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Numerous conservative news outlets have taken note of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) two bills signed into law by President Trump in the last two weeks. Last week, President Trump signed legislation sponsored by Sen. Cruz and House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) that returns discretion back to the State of Texas and Gov. Greg Abbott over how to best implement the state’s unemployment insurance program.
A week earlier, President Trump signed the Cruz-Nelson NASA Transition Authorization Act, cosponsored by Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), which ensures the Johnson Space Center remains the crown jewel of NASA’s human spaceflight missions and makes a serious commitment to the manned exploration of space, laying the groundwork for the mission to Mars, and enabling commercial space ventures to flourish, all of which will foster extraordinary economic growth and job creation throughout Texas.

Conservative Review: SHOOT FOR MARS! TRUMP SIGNS CRUZ-NELSON $19.5 BILLION NASA BILL
“President Trump signed a bipartisan bill Tuesday that funds NASA programs and maps out a plan to send a manned mission to Mars. The NASA Transition Authorization Act, which was co-authored by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), — and co-sponsored by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) — distributes $19.5 billion for the space agency’s 2018 fiscal year (beginning Oct. 1). The bill also calls for NASA to draft a plan for a manned mission to Mars in the 2030s. The bill closely aligns with Trump’s $19.1 billion budget proposal for the agency. Money will be delegated for deep space exploration, refining the International Space Station, commercial partnerships, and planning for the mission to Mars. The bill also ‘authorizes a space technology program’ the White House said in a statement.”
