Chuck Grassley of Iowa today made the following comment on a review from the NASA inspector general examining allegations of improper leasing of a hangar and aircraft fuel purchases between NASA\u2019s Ames Research Center and H211, a private company that manages aircraft owned or leased by Google executives.\u00a0 Grassley has looked into the arrangement amid allegations of poor management by the government to taxpayers\u2019 detriment. \u201cI\u2019m glad the NASA inspector general was able to clear up some of the questions surrounding NASA and Google.\u00a0 I also have asked the Defense Department inspector general to take a broader look at these fuel contracts.\u00a0 Given that a \u2018misunderstanding\u2019 between NASA and the Defense Department led to taxpayers\u2019 losing out on $3.3 million to $5.3 million in this one contract, a look at these arrangements as a whole is definitely warranted.\u00a0 The inspector general recommends that NASA explore \u2018remedies.\u2019\u00a0 The obvious remedy would be for NASA to seek repayment to the taxpayers for the fuel benefit.\u00a0 If NASA fails to pursue this option and make taxpayers whole, it\u2019s hard to imagine how NASA would justify such a corporate giveaway.\u201d The inspector general review is available here.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20140221043212/http://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/Article.cfm?customel_dataPageID_1502=47726"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0459180921316147, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
