Washington -lip- The De

dered a drastic shake-up in
the Army-managed military
communications satellite pro

costs and a two-year lag in
rocket booster development.
Shuttling down the Army's
$170 million Advent Project,
jnnQi.imnni directed the
Air Force to take over devel
opment, production and
launch of an entirely new,
lighter weight communica

work with existing rocket
boosters. i

a total loss.
An immediate effect is to
wipe out an estimated 1,100
jobs at the General Electric
Co plant in Philadelphia,
where the Advent satellites
were to be built under multi
million dollar contracts. A
company spokesman said oth
er jobs would be found for
500 to 600 persons involved.
Also washed out was the

"There were statements ai

Phil rrh "Rut we've all found
a way to live with it, and I

Advocates of the import

that Canada be limited to 10

Canadian producers supplied
about 14 per cent, compared

that there was no point in

Magnuson, who is a spec

long favored a direct, ap

gain by a reasonable restric

then a quota can be fixed by
the president.

such a report, after lengthy
consideration, oeiore presi
