NSS Seattle--
Here's an item of interest from Jim Spellman.
Vince Creisler
President NSS Seattle
-----------------------------------------
Subject: Thought you'd want to see this: Anti-Cassini Protest Schedule
I gleaned this info off of the "Stop Cassini Newsletter" from Russell
D.
Hoffman.
Thought you might want to have it in order to remain aware of the
activities
of anti-Cassini forces in your neighborhood.
According to their recent newsletter, ". . .Congressional support for
hearings grows and grows. Our understanding is that now five
Congresspeople
-- Lynn Woosley, are calling for hearings and others are listening. .
."
There's even been talk of getting boats located outside the 3-mile
"International water" zone -- but in the path of the Titan IV's launch
trajectory (based on a Shrimp boat incident that delayed a Delta launch
at
the Cape a week ago) as a means of delaying the launch.
Regards,
Jim Spellman
