I just heard about that, and was going to post but y'all beat me to it.

I'll have to look up that newspaper item.  The way I heard it, Quale
dug up about $5M to keep Landsat going for another couple of months.
Congressman George Brown (D-CA) has written a letter to Bush urging
that Landsat be kept going.  The letter was co-signed by a bunch of
congressmen; it might not be a bad idea to (1) find out if your
congresscritter co-signed it, and (2) give him an "attaboy" if he did.

(Why "of all people"?  You don't believe everything the newsdroids
on TV tell you, do you?)
