ATIG Members-

Attached is the third of three white papers written in response to a National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine solicitation supporting the "Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey 2023-2032" (ref. https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/planetary-science-and-astrobiology-decadal-survey-2023-2032).  This paper documents chronic underfunding of NASA's Near-Earth Object Observation Program and calls for a study of possible organizational conflicts-of-interest responsible for it.  Comments on this issue are welcome.
