The Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, chaired by Sen. Daniel
Inouye (D-HI), will be makring up the FY94 defense appropriation bill
on Tuesday Sept. 28.

Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM) is a member of the subcommittee and has
requested that Sen. Inouye fully fund the SSRT program for next year.
This will provide $75 million for work to begin on the SX-2 (DC-X
followon) and another $5 million to finish DC-X testing.

We don't know if Inouye will go for this or not. We need to keep the
pressure up so please keep the phone calls coming. We know that the
level of interest is going up and one very key staffer said the
program was 'on a roll'. However, more calls and faxes are needed to
secure support.

Phone calls to the following people are URGENTLY needed today through
Tuesday. I'll also post district offices which you can call on the weekend,
but it you call a district office, try and speak with the Senator and if
you can't, then call the Washington office on Monday.

For talking points, see the previous posting on Rebuttal so SSRT handout.

The following people are committee leaders. Anybody can call them but if
you live in the state, please make a special effort to contact them. I
am also listing the key staffers and they should be called as well.
