     The crew of the STS-34 Space Shuttle Mission was honored today at the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The major objective of the STS-34 flight was the
deployment of the spacecraft Galileo which was accomplished last October 18th.
The ceremony occurred at noon in the JPL mall area. Dr. Lew Allen, the
director of JPL, presented each of the astronauts with a personalized
plaque commemorating the Galileo deployment. Don Williams, the commander
of STS-34 and mission specialists Ellen Baker were then introduced and each
gave a speech in front of the JPL personel.  Time was then set aside for the
JPL employees to chat with the astronauts and to get their autographs.
