Abstract:

President Bush's new space policy directive establishes a solid foundation for a unified national position for protecting vital U.S. interests, but establishing a truly unified position on a national security policy for space depends on Congress's accepting a common understanding with the Bush Administration on the meaning and intent of the provisions found in the directive.
