Rep Pete Olsen (R-Texas) according to the article.
But wait, does he or doesn't he support commercial
space?


"Rep. Pete Olson (R-Sugar Land) applauded The Boeing
Company in Houston for recently receiving a $92.3 million
NASA award for the Commercial Crew Development

I predicted right in this NG that this would happen and that Boeing and
L-M are probably behind it. Both feel threatened by SpaceX and are now
blatantly ordeirng their paid cronies in Congress to pass legislation
that would kill them.
