	The United States Senate Appropriations Committee will
	allocate to the Subcommittees their Fiscal '89 Funds. Current
	information indicates the HUD and Independent Agencies may be
	given only a 1% increase over the Fiscal '88 Budget. This
	would result in a substantial cut in NASA funding. According
	to NASA Director Dr. Fletcher in a recent speech, "This could
	spell extinction for the Space Program" (See last week's
	Washington Post).

	Sources indicate the decision will be made this week. To
	prevent the loss of funds, call NOW! Express your concern by
	asking the Senate to support NASA Funding at 11.5 billion, the
	President's Fiscal '89 request.

	The key U.S. Senators are:
			Senator Robert Byrd		(202) 224-3954
			(Senate MAjority Leader)

			Senator J. Bennett Johnston	(202) 224-5824
			(Member of the Appropriations Committee)
