April issue of "Skin Diver" (p. 122) has a note about the planned recovery
of Liberty Bell 7.  Note says Subsurface Technologies (Subtek), a Fort Worth,
TX organization specializing in underwater artifact recovery, has been
given NASA sanction to recover the capsule.  Subtek has created the Liberty
Bell 7 Recovery Foundation to run the operation.  Capsule will be located with
a Subtek-developed device called EMS-3; no details on it.  Capsule is at
5000 meters, "the deepest manned recovery ever attempted."  Recovery
will be carried live from "a deep diving research submarine with
specially designed underwater television cameras" and a "floating marine
archaeology facility with live television broadcasting capabilities."
Subtek also plans to recover Spanish treasure ships and give artifacts 
to museums.  Contacts:  Robert Fuller or Larry Moore, Liberty Bell 7
