Space Program Budget
Well, here is the first summary from the newswire I am posting.
Consider it a test of how you like it (ARPAland) as well as being
informative...

The chairman of the House Subcommittee on Science and Technology
said that the Reagan budget plans could threaten our space program.
The 1983 fiscal budget calls for $6.5 billion for NASA (about what
it is now)  Not only could this hurt our planetary program, but also
threaten the shuttle program.  Orbiter 104 (the fourth shuttle) could
be put in question as well as a proposed fifth shuttle.  While the
Reagan administration has expressed interest in a fifth shuttle,
they have not offered any financing for it.  As per the planetary
program, the deep space network, which receives signals from unmanned
probes, such as Voyager and Pioneer, could be hurt, as well as jobs.
Also threatened is the Centaur upper stage project, designed to launch
payloads once deployed from the shuttle's cargo bay.
