The National Space Council, chaired by Vice-President Dan Quayle, recommended to President George Bush that the National AeroSpace Plane program be maintained but that its activities be scaled down and focused on pure research. The new plan would cut spending for the program from $427 million to $254 million in fiscal year 1990, with funding being split evenly between the Department of Defense and NASA.
