By Senator CLINTON R. ANDERSON (D.-N Max.) Son a tor Anderton is Chairman of the Sanato Committee on Aeronautical and Space Science* to the E d ito r TO THE EDITOR With the eight-day flight of Gemini V logged into Û.3 books as another space success for the United States, a t­ tention is focused on the scheduled rendezvous in space next month between Gemini VI and an Agena booster. These flights and the suc­ ceeding Gemini and Apollo missions will carry the Nation to the goal of landing astronauts on the Moon in this decade. The knowledge and experience gained in this endeavor, will set the stage for more ambitious and complex space ventures. Our objective of reaching the Moon by 1970 was set by President Kennedy and the Congress four years ago. Since that time we have made great strides and Clin ten F Ander io n President Johnson, fully realizing the im­ portance of a space program, has continually voiced his strong support for the space effort and has seen that its momentum has been sustained. OTHER SPACE OBJECTIVES Besides the Moon mission there are other important aspects of the investigation of space — objectives we are now pursuing, others that may become desirable. The latter variety concerned the Senate Space Commit­ tee recently during three days of hearings to determine the thinking of the White House, the National Aero­ nautics and Space Administration, the Department of Defense, and the National Academy of Sciences on pos­ sible programs after Apollo. We know that the $20 billion for Apollo is, in fact, buying space craft, ground facilities and. most importantly, exper'ence that will be used after Apollo. It is necessary to move in measured pace toward learning more with instruments about Mars and Venus. Only by thorough instrumented probing of these planets will the information be available to determine whether those environments are hospitable to any form of life— the question that captivates scientists. The Voyager Project hopes to plop an instrument package on Mars in 1971 to transmit data on the planetary atmosphere. \ NEW SPACE VEHICLES The United States is developing the vehicles that will enable us to choose from an array of options, including planetary travel. Nuclear-propelled rockets are one such family of craft. Witnesses before the Space Com­ mittee stated that spending on nuclear rocket propul­ sion is now at a reasonable level. Late next year or early in 1967 tests will be run on an experimental sys­ tem resembling that needed for light. Soon after that, a decision will have to be made on actual flight on a nuclear-powered rocket. The Space Committee was assured by NASA officials that thev will stretch current and planned spacecraft for the fullest use before deciding to build new genera­ tions of vehicles. This is sound and fiscally responsible administration. The future program objectives I have outlined are ambitious and serve to show how wide spread our ex­ ploration of space can be. With these objectives now- before us. we must focus our energies on carrying out those ob je c tiv e s .________________________________ It has been suggested by the Brookingt-Harbor Pilot t h a t I advance some new ideas for the Im provem ent of th e Port o f Brookings. 1 feel that ideas a - long these lines should come from A rm y Engineers since port Im provem ent is their hiuineaa. And w ith regard to the same over-drawn objections to the way the port is operating—1 am somewhat in a quandary as to the significance o f this remark, since the operation of a ham ­ strung port and the operation of a port that isn 't sewed up for fifty years, take on an e n tire ly d iffe re n t status and fa ll into a d iffe re n t category. M yconlusion is due to die tw o d istin ctly d if­ ferent kind of port operation. As I see it, the operation of our port h a s fa lle n squarely into the hands of private business and I have no objections whatever to the way this private business function. Furthermore, 1 th in k this private business is doing a good job. In m y opinion, the discom fort o f being tire d and the cracked record episode, matters lit t le — the ridiculous surrender of our port district’ s rig h t to c o lle c t any commerce revenue for fifty years, w ith die resultant te rrific loss to the port d is tric t taxpay­ ers—matters much. I do object most strongly, to the waste o f the port district taxpayers money that is being squandered In Portland and else­ where and I have voiced m y ob­ je c tio n to die childish agree­ m e n t that sewed up our port for f if t y years.
