Shortly after July 9, 1990 the Senate Appropriation Subcommittee for HUD, VA, and Independant Agencies will vote on the Space Exploration Initiative in particular and the NASA budget in general. The House has killed almost all funding for SEI so the Senate is the last chance to get anything to hapen this year (or perhaps ever). The chairperson of the Senate subcommittee (Senator Mikulski) is strongly opposed to funding the Space Exploration Initiative (Moon and mars exploration). There is an urgent need for people to write to some of the other members of the subcommittee to generate support. If you support SEI, please take a few minutes to write one of the Senators listed below and express your support. Just a few lines asking for full funding for SEI and a short statement on why you support it is all you need to write. A handwritten note will be just fine. Even if you called Senator Mikulski, there is still a need to write. She doesn't support this and doesn't care how many people call her supporting SEI or space in general. The names and address of some key senators is listed below. If you are from one of their states, write to them. Otherwise, write to the senator who's state is closest to yours or select one at random. The letters need to arrive by July 5 (next Thursday) to be effective. Thank you for your help.
