Recently the House froze space station funding at 1985 levels($150 million). Now the Senate subcommittee on Science, Technology, & Space has voted on April 27th in a preliminary vote to cut an additional 300 million from the already frozen budget. This will more than likely end the space station unless YOU right now pitch in right now to support it. Write, call, or telegram the chairman & his second on this committee this instant. A final vote will happen in early may. Send a copy of your letters to your own Senators to let them know how you feel. Senator Slade Gorton Senator Donald W. Reigle United States Senate United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 <-Ditto (202)224-2621 (202)224-4822 Urge a restoral of the full budget, and failing that, full funding(230 million)for the space station. Failure this year will put the station off at least two years. I would personally be all for a freeze IF EACH AND EVERY PROGRAM, including the Pentagon and ALL entitlements were frozen at last year's level. This is extremely unlikely. Once again, NASA will be cut to make way for a few more MX missiles and an out of control set of entitlement programs. Dale Skran
