	I don't know if this group has come to the attention of net.space
as of yet, they seem to be doing some importent pro-space loobying in DC.
Below is a copy of their statement of goals.
------
    "Recognizing that the US space program is critical to the future of our
nation and mankind, the ASF was formed to lobby in Washington for a stronger
American presence in space.
    The ASF is the nation's largest grassroots prospace lobby. It is a national
non-partisan organization financed entirely by our members. ... [plea for
support]...
    We believe mandkind must expand its frontiers beyond the confines of Earth"
ASF, 214 Massachusetts Ave., N.E., Suite 420, Washington, DC 20002
------

	Their Board of Directors looks impressive (so one would expect),
as does their newsletter. Does anyone know anything more about this
organization? Have the pro-space groups truely consolidated behind one
lobbying front?

Tomorrow we'll live for the moment,
But, pray we never live in the past.
