March24, 1989 Dr.. Mark F. Albrecht Executive Director National Space Council Old Executive Office Bldg., 4th Floor 17th St. & Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, D.C. 20503 Dear Dr. Albrecht, 8 Ft. 1b119 First, let me congratulate you on your appointment as Executive Director of the new National Space Council. The Geosat Committee has testified in Congress on behalf of the re- establishment of a National Space Council as a step towards righting the seemingly floundering U.S. Space Program. Vice President Quayle and you have a heavy responsibility before you due to the national visibility of the National Space Council. ! You also have a grand opportunity to develop national focus on, 1_ and public support of, U.S. programs in space. We appreciate your recent efforts to find short-term funding to halt the threatened shut down of Landsats 4 and S. In February, Geosat expressed its' support to Mr. Guttman for action in bringing the user agencies together to find a short- term funding solution. We are pleased that your efforts have been successful. Since its organization in 1976, the Geosat Committee has supported the development of the Landsat Program. We believe the program has suffered from the largely unilateral government decisions to push for commercialization without appropriate time allowed for adequate financial investment and market development. Other countries are moving into the earth observation field through joint government-industry decision- making, investment and technology development for common goals. The Geosat Committee understands that the short-term funding for Landsats 4 and 5 will allow time for the National Space Council to review short- and long-term policy options for the Landsat Program. We encourage the Council to provide an opportunity for meaningful input from the private business sector and user community. We have strongly urged NOAA and Congress to provide for private sector participation in the evaluation of NOAA's impending action plan for a U.S. "advanced civil earth remote sensing satellite system,' and seek your help in accomplishing such participation. 601 Elm Street, Rm. #438C Norma., Oklahoma 73019 (405) 3253329 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/12/17: CIA-RDP91M01043R002100030008-9 Declassified in Part- Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/12/17: CIA-RDP91M01043R002100030008-9 ?
