Subject
Summary:

Even though the President has proposed terminating the Advanced Solid Rocket Motor program, NASA is proceeding with all construction planned for fiscal year 1992 to avoid schedule slippages if Congress reinstates the program. GAO believes that NASA could delay some construction for at least a few months without affecting the launch data schedule. Starting all construction activities as originally planned could result in unnecessary additional costs and termination liability if the funding for fiscal year 1993 is not provided. If Congress decides to continue the program, construction could still be completed in time to avoid schedule slippages.
