The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:10 a.m., in room 2318, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Don Fuqua presiding. Mr. FUQUA. According to paragraph E, subtitle 1, the committee may permit by a majority vote hearings and meetings which are open to the public to be covered in whole or in part by television, radio, or still photography, or any other method of coverage. Without objection, said coverage will be permitted. We regret that because of flu the chairman of the committee is not up to par and sends his regrets because he is not able to be here. He has asked that his regrets be expressed. We are pleased today to welcome to the committee G. Harry Stine, George Jeffs, and Charles Sheffield. Our discussions this morning will focus on the future opportunities and prospects for a strong space program. The past two decades of space exploration and operations have given us the tools to let us use space to the ever-increasing benefit of our Nation and the people of the world. What is required is the will to undertake such effort and a roadmap to set goals. It is the objective of these hearings to begin to formulate such a program for our Nation. We welcome as our first witness Mr. G. Harry Stine, author of "The Third Industrial Revolution." Mr. Stine is an engineer and writer who has increasingly devoted his attention to the useful applications of space. Following Mr. Stine we will hear from Mr. George Jeffs, president, space operations, Rockwell International, and Mr. Charles Sheffield, vice president, Earth Satellite Corp. We are very happy to have you here, Mr. Stine, and will you please proceed. [The prepared statement of G. Harry Stine follows:] (1) STATEMENT BY G.
