LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AJR 94, Mays. NASA Space Station Freedom Program.
This measure would proclaim the support of the California Legislature for the continued development of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Space Station Freedom Program.

WHEREAS, President John F. Kennedy said, in his address to the University of California at Berkeley on March 23, 1962, “Space ... would emphasize the interests that must unite us. . . . Knowledge ... is the pass key to the future. . . .”; and
WHEREAS, The California Legislature applauds the goals of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Space Station Freedom Program, and the application of its resources and capabilities for the benefit of all human beings, in this decade of advancement of scientific knowledge; and
WHEREAS, As the Cold War ends, and a New World Order begins, Californians are committed to remaining the world leader in aerospace technology and scientific research, in the interest of the economic well-being of both the state and the nation; and
WHEREAS, The Space Station Freedom Program helps achieve economic well-being by employing thousands of Californians whose critical skills are necessary to enable the United States to compete effectively in the global economy of this decade and beyond; and
WHEREAS, High technology jobs are an essential component in maintaining the prominence of California and the United States in state-of-the-art technologies; technologies which historically have benefited this country domestically and have contributed substantially to our balance of trade with foreign nations; and
WHEREAS, This program, a civilian project, not only performs its role as an orbiting platform for fundamental life sciences and microgravity research, but it also inspires our youth toward higher education, and promotes international cooperation and understanding; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly and Senate of the State of California, jointly, That the Members of the Legislature of this state hereby proclaim our support for the continued development of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Space Station Freedom Program, as a cornerstone of investment in the future of our state and nation; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the President and Vice President of the United States, to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, to each Senator and Representative from California in the Congress of the United States, and to the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
