They undergo extensive questioning from engineers management and fellow astronauts while White Sands officials report the craft in excellent condition with one non critical heat tile loss and plans to remove and treat up to 1 200 tiles before the late June early July fourth test flight. Ken Kissin calls the mission a super mission for science and schedules for late April appearances begin.

Armstong amendment on spending repeal blocks revenue measure
The spendingbreak repeal amendment by Sen. William Armstrong is deemed irrelevant to the funding bill and not subject to consideration. Sen. Russell Long denounces it as unconstitutional, citing origins in the House for revenue measures. After tense exchanges, the amendment fails, tying to a 63-36 vote to cut congressional pay by 10 percent if the amendment had passed. Jesse Helms then signals support for a clean funding bill and withdraws his anti-busing amendment.
