The Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President released budget figures showing funds for all federal research .and development as $43 billion in FY83, $4.2 billion over FY82. NASA's portion of the research and development (R&D) budget ($6.5 billion for FY83, $672 million over FY82) would "assure timely transition of the Space Shuttle to an operational system [and] continue the highest priority research and space exploration projects," namely the Space Telescope, the gamma-ray observatory, and the Galileo mission to Jupiter. (NASA anno, Feb 8/82)
James M. Beggs, NASA's administrator, said in a budget message that "given the tightly constrained fiscal environment. . .I believe we did well.... [T]hough there are no new starts, we are continuing with most of our ongoing activity in what we consider to be a balanced way." (Text, Feb 8/82)
