NASA and Caltech officials reject the move, saying they were not involved and express surprise and outrage. Rep. H Allen Smith disclaims ownership of the idea and backs away from pressing the change.

Swiss cavalry on the way out ends in Senate vote
The Swiss upper house voted 26 to 16 to abolish the army's 18 cavalry squadrons, freeing 2,600 men for mechanized units. Previously the National Council had reversed that stance, leaving the fate of the horse in dispute as both houses debate the future role of cavalry in the Swiss army.
