>If one of your Senators is on the Senate Appropriations Committee's
>National Security (DOD) Subcommittee (see attached list at end), we're
>asking you to call or fax their Washington office before Wednesday
>morning and ask them to support $50 million for DOD reusable rocket work
>at USAF Phillips Labs in Fiscal Year 1997 (FY'97 begins October 1 1996).
>
>As usual, if you do call or fax, be brief and be polite; the overworked
>staffers will appreciate it.
>
>If you call, tell them who you are ("Hi, I'm Joe Smith from <town in
>their Senator's state>") and what you want ("I'm calling about something
>I'd like to see supported in the Defense Appropriations markup").  They
>may switch you to another staffer (more likely to that staffer's
>voicemail) or they may ask you what those things you want are.  If they
>ask, tell them you support $50 million in funding for reusable rocket
>work at USAF Phillips Labs.  If they have any questions, answer them as
>best you can; if not, thank them for their time and ring off.  If you end
>up with another staffer's voicemail, repeat the whole message of who you
>are, where you want something done, and what it is you want, then thank
>'em for their time and ring off.
>
>If you fax, keep it to one page, lead off with what you want (as above),
>and then follow up with a paragraph or two of why you think these things
>are worth funding if you're so inclined.
>
>(The Phillips Labs reusable rocket work strikes us as a prime example of
>"dual-use" technology - cheaper more timely access to space benefits all
>users, military and civilian.)
