From: rrh@ucbcalder (Robert R. Henry)

The New York Times reported today that Senator Jake Garn (R-Utah) has
accepted an invitation to be the first public offical to fly in the
space shuttle.  Garn is the chairman of a senate oversight committee to
oversee NASA budgets, an ex Navy pilot with > 10,000 hours of flight
time, and has been wrangling this invitation since 1981.

My opinions of Garn's politics aside, I'm wondering if this is really
appropriate.
