You ain't heard nothing yet, Bill. All of the Mission Ops and Data
Analysis programs (IUE, Einstein, EUVE, GRO, ROSAT, etc) were called
to D.C. last week for an emergency review and further major cuts. The usual
Congress smarts - spend half a billion on getting a mission up, then cut
the one percent of that that would let you do a good job with the
results. MO&DA is one of the cheapest and most important things NASA
does but one of the first to get cut. 

[Declaration of interest: of course, my salary comes out of this budget,
so I would say that, wouldn't I.]
