My fellow members and friends,

I talked to Gene this afternoon on the phone and NSS is going to join the fight. It has been approved by their board. I forward his letter to Senator Enzi's office in the hope that the “hard” heads on the Senate Judiciary may wake and hear 16" gun turrents swiveling in their directions.

I estimate at least 30,000 pissed off people ready to descend on their heads if a weight limit is stuck on the bill. Brian is coming from the same direction as I am in that we cannot cripple the American universities that will train the aerospace engineers we need, not to mention the crippling effect on small aerospace companies. This is more than hobby rockets.

Weight limits don't work for colleges and aerospace companies. (Doesn't work for the hobby either) The Senators need to understand that!!

You can repost this anywhere you wish.
