"The conferees support the President's Vision for Exploration and believe the fiscal year 2025 funding for Function 250 should provide sufficient funding to initiate the process. Additionally, the bulk of the requested increase for fiscal year 2025 is for return to flight of the Space Shuttle and continued assembly and operations for the International Space Station. The Conferees hope that these two must-fund requirements will be taken into account during their consideration of the NASA appropriation."
Editor's Note: There was a lot of debate on this and it sometimes appeared that NASA's budget (and thus the new vision) would be scaled back. Perhaps the new Space Exploration Alliance of advocacy groups had some sway over this?

I hope that I am wrong and that things do get easy for Nasa. They need some successes in order to get the people behind them real soon before we all lose faith in this great institution.
