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." ***End extract *** 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. Will Martin
