She suggests transferring money from SLS to help fund commercial crew:

“We need to get on with the task of building affordable launch systems
to meet our nation’s needs for access to low Earth orbit, *instead of
promoting grandiose concepts which keep us vulnerable in the short and
medium terms. The most responsible course of action for the United
States is to dramatically accelerate the commercial crew systems
already under development.

“I am calling on General Bolden, the NASA Administrator, to propose an
emergency transfer of funding from unobligated balances in other
programs, including the Space Launch System, to NASA’s commercial crew
initiative. *Funding should be used to speed up the efforts of the
four current industry partners to develop their systems and
potentially expand the recent awards to include the best applicants
for launch vehicle development."

And Rep. Rohrabcher's plan has ZERO chance of getting out of
committee. If he was Chairman, he'd be in a better position. But since
Rep. Ralph Hall (R-TX) is chair, and fights hard for NASA's own launch
vehicle and capsule, forget it.
