Maryland Leaders Press for Space Telescope and Preservation Funding
Washington hearing featured Dr Riccardo Giacconi of Johns Hopkins Space Telescope Science Institute urging faster launch of the space telescope planned for a 360 mile orbit on Atlantis in 1964 and outlining its potential to deliver tenfold clearer views of planets and galaxies.

Delegation Chairman Paul Sarbanes promised strong backing for both programs.
