[net.space] Reagan commits to space station??

rjnoe@ihlts.UUCP (Roger Noe) (12/14/83)

Half-listening to the CBS Morning News on TV this (Wed. Dec. 14) morning,
I could have sworn I heard a newscaster say that Reagan had approved
NASA funding for fiscal year 1985 to plan a permanently manned orbiting 
space station.  What was strange was that they couldn't have devoted more
than 10 seconds to the whole announcement and if such a press release actually
was made I would think that even CBS would give it more than that little
time slice.  Anyone else KNOW anything about this?
