The numbers are complicated by questions over\u00a0 reconciling the percentage cuts with the funding under the continuing resolution (CR) , with what the administration originally requested for 2013, and whether the cuts apply to the whole fiscal year or to what remains.<\/p>\n<p>The cut will apparently be taken from the Presidents request of over $800M for commercial crew and no from the amount in the CR of about half that.
