Abstract of Testimony for the January 1978 Committee on
Science and Technology

Hearing on Future Space Programs from

Dr. Bruce Friedman, Chairman of the

B'nai B'rith Energy Committee of Maryland

The B'nai B'rith Energy Committee of Maryland feels that an aggressive space industrialization effort by the United States of America is of compelling importance. The Energy Committee strongly urges that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) budget be increased annually by 20% for every year of the ten year period commencing with FY 1979 in order to allow NASA to vigorously develop space-based energy and energy-related options. Further, the Energy Committee unequivocally supports House Concurrent Resolutions 451 and 447 with their request for an assessment "of developing as a national goal for the year 2000 the first manned structures in space for the conversion of solar energy and other extraterrestrial resources to the peaceable and practical use of human beings everywhere."
