alb@alice.UUCP (10/12/83)

NASA today declined to make a decision regarding the launch
of STS-9, opting instead to wait a few more days until more
tests results from the damaged STS-8 SRB are obtained.  However,
one official said that hopes for a 28 October launch date were
becoming more and more pessimistic.
