ASF is a space PAC independent of other such groups.  I have been a member
since it started in 1983.  They lobby about the usual space things, #1 right
now being the space station and 1986 NASA budget.  The politicians
associated with ASF are mostly conservative free-enterprisers like Harrison
Schmidt.  The big push prior to the space station was space deregulation and
licensing simplification, which succeeded.  They've taken member polls on
the SDI, but not any really hard position.  They send out a newsletter,
requests for letter-writing campaigns, money, etc.  This PAC is different in
philosophy than the Gerry O'Neill guitars-in-space PACs.
