[net.space] Space policy legislation

>From the "Professional Pipeline" column, by Carole Patton, in the
Aug 2, '82, issue of ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING TIMES, page 32, in a
discussion of engineering-related legislation:

"Two 'space policy' bills, one sponsored by Rep.  George Brown,
Jr.  (D-CA) and the other by Rep.  Newton Gingrich (R-GA), are an
attempt to establish a long-range space program.  STATUS: Both HR
3412 (Rep.  Brown's bill), and the Gingrich bill are tentatively
scheduled for hearings in August."

I recall recent plaintive messages wanting to know how to
influence the future of the space program.  This seems an
excellent opportunity.  I suggest those concerned write these
congressmen for copies of the bills and express their views.
