Excerpt
Excerpts: Senator RIEGLE. The committee will come to order. This is the first hearing in the 100th Congress of the Subcommittee on Science, Technology, end Space, and we start on a day with adverse weather conditions here in Washington, and other committees meeting at the same time, so members will be arriving as we go along, but I thought we ought to start on time. I particularly want to welcome to our subcommittee the new members who will be serving. The subcommittee has been expanded because of the interest of members in the work of this subcommittee, and I want to particularly welcome this morning also the chairman of the full committee, Senator Hollings. This morning?s hearing begins a new chapter in the relationship between NASA and the Senate with new teams in place on both sides of the table. I hope and intend that this will be an era in which the Congress and NASA work together to reactivate the space shuttle and help restore the civilian space program to its former stature.
