  SPACE STATION FUNDING ALERT

Representative Silvio Conti is attempting to remove 600 million in FY 89 funding
from the space station to fund other programs. This will immediately terminate
the Space Station program causing a major setback to the US space program. The 
vote is set for Wednesday, April 19th, YOU MUST CALL by Tuesday the 18th to have
any impact. The congressmen's offices take calls from 8:00am to 8:00pm. Do not
