NASA officials uninformed on Challenger launch decision
The presidential examining commission said at least three NASA officials involved in the Challenger launch were not told booster engineers had strongly urged against it. The shocker showed launch team officials lacked expected safety information, with secrecy noted in investigations. Allan J. McDonald, Morton Thiokol engineer, cited concerns aired mainly to Lawrence Mulloy, who would forward them to Marshall director William R. Lucas. NASA planned to announce Jesse Moore’s early departure to head the Johnson Space Center as acting administrator William Graham prepared to unveil changes.

Engineer says booster weather concerns blocked shuttle launch
Allan J. McDonald a Mor ton Thiokol engineer testified to a presidential panel that he argued against the January 28 liftoff of the space shuttle Challenger fearing cold weather would affect the solid rocket boosters. He said his objections were overruled by supervisor Joe Kilminster who sent NASA a launch-approval letter. McDonald noted he informed NASA officials January 27 and continued to object after the letter arrived at Cape Canaveral. The commission has ordered most NASA investigators pulled from the probe.

Proposed 2.8 Billion Embassy Upgrades Seek Safer Posts
Secretary of State Shultz urged Congress to approve a 2.8 billion program to replace many American embassies with bomb resistant, spy proof structures and reinforce security at existing posts.
