WRITING LETTERS FOR SPACE

In 1991, Congressional forces canceled Space Station Freedom in subcommittee,
jeopardizing the entire manned space program. Fortunately, a vote of the full
House of Representatives reversed this decision, prompted in part by a massive
grassroots campaign organized by Spacecause. Anti-space forces, however, have
begun mobilizing once again.

Because of the crucial importance of Space Station Freedom to the United States,
the following organizations have joined together to sponsor a letter-writing
contest: Final Frontier, NASA Tech Briefs, National Space Society, Omni,
Spacecause, and Spacepac.

If you share their concern over the fate of the space program, please write a
letter to your U.S. representatives and U.S. senators expressing your support
for the program and, in particular, full funding for Space Station Freedom. The
relevant addresses are: Representative (name), Washington, DC 20515, and Senator
(name), Washington, DC 20510.

You may enter letters of 200 words or less into the contest by sending a copy of
the letter and your name, address, age, and phone number to Spacecause by
October 15, 1992. The winner in the children's category (ages under 17) will
receive a week-long session at the U.S. Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama; the
adult winner will receive a three-day stay. The prizes do not include
transportation. Also, all of the sponsoring organizations, including Omni, will
publish the one letter judged best overall.

If you want to learn about other opportunities to take effective action in
support of the space program, send Spacecause a contribution of $10 or more.
You will be added to Spacecause's mailing list for two years.
