SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) — Members
of the nation's astronaut corps, speaking for the
first time publicly about the Challenger disaster,
say they are looking forward to getting answers
on what caused the shuttle explosion and then
resume the flights.
NASA needs "to have an opportunity to find
out what the cause of the accident was, any
potential problems and how they can lie fixed,
implement them and go" fly again," Astronaut foe
Engle said Monday in ah interview. ' V

Engle also said there have been discussions
for some time on a system that would allow
astronauts to escape in case of an emergency. The
proposals range from a total escape capsule to a
system that allows each individual to eject.
“It’s still theoretically possible but whether
or not it's practical I don’t know,” he said.

; V W ASH I NCTON (AP) — President Reagan,
kittling for congressional approval of SltM)
millio,n for Nicaragua's anti-gover n men I
rebels, warned Monday that defeat of the
package WOUjd trigger a "strategic disaster"
thill i on Id lead to the establishment of Soviet
military liases "on America's doorstep."
Intensifying his campaign to renew
military aid to the rebels. Reagan met in the
Oval Office with three loaders of anti
government forces.
The president said defeat of the rebels,
known as Contras, "would open up the
possibility of Soviet military bases on
America's doorstep, threaten the security of
the Panama Canal, inaugurate a vast migration
march to the United States of hundreds of
thousands of refugees.
"Those who would invite this strategic
disaster by abandoning yet another fighting al
ly of this country in the field will fie held fully
accountable by history,” the president vowed.
Reagan faces a long-odds battle to win ap
proval of the aid package, and he used a long
list of arguments to defend hits proposal
"I)efeat for the Contras would mean a se
cond 'Cuba on the mainland of North
America." he said
It would be a major defeat:in the qoefji for
democracy in our hemisphere It would mean
consolidation of a privileged sanctuary for ter
rorists and subversives just two days' driving
time from Harlingen. Texas,” Rea nan added.
"I've asked for $100 million in assistance
and we ll fight for it," he vowed “Simple
humanitarian aid is not enough."
Reagan met with three leaders ot the
Unified Nicaraguan Opposition. UNO Aides
said he had no plans to meet with leaders of
other rebel factions also in Washington.
The Contras are in Washington for what is
expected to be their most extensive congres
sional lobbying offensive to date.
