From: Bdale Garbee <AG0B%CMU-CC-TE@CMU-CC-TE> Many of you may remember when we created 'Scientists For a Manned Space Station' on short notice. This action was critical in gaining funding for the station by defeating efforts in committee to divert or cut funding. Well folks, we need you again. If you were not part of that effort, or if you have changed phone, USnail address or net address over the last year, please send an update to: garbee@cmu-cs-g Membership requirements are: a) You work in science (not necessarily a Phd) b) You agree that a manned space station is a good idea Among the key figures who worked with us last year are: Dr. Jastrow, Dr. Sheffield as spokespersons; Dr. James Fletcher (Former NASA director), Dr. Noel Jarret (tech. dir. at Alcoa), Gordon Woodcock, Peter Vijk, Marvin Minsky, John McCarthy, and many others by lending their names. We need your name to back a request for FULL FUNDING for the space station. A Ms. Sandy Adamson may contact some of you directly by telephone if we need signatures, a petition, or any such extra support. WE NEED YOUR HELP. Congress is looking on NASA as a painless place to cut the budget. We are in danger of loosing nearly $750M off the original presidential budget, and of having major diversion and cutbacks on the space station funding itself. Let's make it a VERY painful place to look for easy cuts!! To lend your support, mail the following information to garbee@cmu-cs-g (please use the format shown, clip and edit if desired... it will make our life easier inserting the information into our database!): Name: Dr. Public Title: Professor of Foobaz Affiliation: Computer Science Department, CMU Phone: work and/or home Mail: work or home Net: network address Get people in other departments if you can. Get info in as soon as possible. We want to have as large a support base as possible before the committee vote. Let's show them that there is a groundswell of support of scientists for a manned space station!!! -------
