Cambridge NASA Center Shutdown Triggers Bipartisan Outrage
The abrupt closure of the new Cambridge Electronics Research Center draws sharp criticism from both parties and Massachusetts leaders. Losses include 36 million in construction, 850 jobs, an 18 million annual payroll, and contracts worth 25 million annually to Massachusetts firms, with six buildings on a 28 acre site. Senator Kennedy and Governor Sargent condemn the move as a disaster and major mistake, urging White House reconsideration as NASA officials explain impacts to workers.

Draft Call Increased In February
The Pentagon announced a February draft call of 19,000 men, up from January's low quotas, with 18,200 to the Army and 0 to the Marines. The plan aligns with Melvin Laird's forecast of about 225,000 draftees for 1970, a reduction from 1969. The Bay State NASA shutdown adds to losses like a Quincy shipyard contract and 150 Boston engineering jobs, alarming MIT President Howard Johnson and prompting talks with Paine about closure.
