Abstract
A December 2 report in the Washington Post states that George Keyworth, science advisor to President Reagan, has ‘recommended halting all new planetary space missions for at least the next decade—an idea he said the White House seems to be buying.’A spokesman in the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) told Eos that in keeping with this, astrophysics and astronomy, not planetary missions, would be emphasized in the fiscal 1983 budget. The OSTP spokesman was unsure what Keyworth meant by ‘an idea the White House seems to be buying.’ There has been other talk that budget cuts would jeopardize space exploration (Eos, October 20, p. 705).
