Whoa!!!  I am quoted as having said
     ... the breathing oxygen is used for propellant.

What I actually said was
	OK, but the current unit is in one piece -- which is not to
	say that the breathing oxygen is used for propellant.

I don't know what the propellant is, but I can't imagine that it comes
from the breathing supply.  My guess is hydrogen peroxide.  The little
hand-held maneuvering gun used by Ed White on Gemini 4 had its own
compressed oxygen tank.
