Dear U.S.  TTB,

I've heard that the government is considering allowing alcohol beverage companies to put serving facts information on their labels so consumers can make more informed decisions when they choose to drink. This seems very reasonable from a consumer standpoint and I am surprised that it is currently prohibited.

This information is important to people who are concerned about their diet and are interested in knowing more about what they eat and drink. It's become a matter of habit for me to look at this type of information on all other consumer goods that I purchase. I am often times quite surprised to learn that some products are much higher (and sometimes lower) in fat and calories than I would otherwise suspect. Having this information would help me make decisions about the products I choose to purchase.

I can't think of a good reason why providing this information for alcohol beverages should not be allowed. In the interest of the consumer I support the government allowing this information to be included on alcohol beverage labels.

Sincerely,

Karen Lane

{description}   Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) workers conduct a systems test of
                the Mars Pathfinder imager, installed atop the Pathfinder lander
                (with JPL insignia). The imager is the white cyclindrical
                structure close to the worker's gloved hand. At left is the small
                rover that will be deployed from the lander to explore the
                Martian surface. The rover is mounted on one of three petals that
                will be attached to the lander. The two-pronged mast extending
                upward from the lander is for the low-gain antenna. The imager is
                mounted on a mast that will be extended after the lander touches
                down on Mars, affording a better view of the area. The imager is
                a camera that will transmit images of the Martian surface as well
                as the trail left by the rover, helping researchers to better
                understand the composition of the soil. It also is equipped with
                selectable filters for gathering data about the atmosphere of the
                Red Planet. JPL manages the Mars Pathfinder project for NASA. The
                journey to Mars is scheduled to begin with liftoff Dec. 2 aboard
                a Delta II expendable launch vehicle.

NASA TV SETS INTERVIEWS FOR NEXT SHUTTLE MISSION FLIGHT DIRECTOR

HOUSTON - The lead flight director for NASA's first space shuttle 
mission this year, STS-117, will be available for satellite 
interviews from 6-8 a.m. CDT Friday, June 1. 

STS-117 Lead Space Station Flight Director Kelly Beck, raised in 
Cahokia, Ill., will oversee a flight of Space Shuttle Atlantis. The 
flight continues construction of the International Space Station and 
brings a new crew member to orbit to begin a five-month stay and will 
return home a station resident who has been in orbit since December. 
Atlantis is targeted for launch at 6:38 p.m. CDT June 8 on an 11-day 
mission. 

Beck will lead a team of flight directors, flight controllers, support 
personnel and engineering experts that will staff mission control in 
Houston, 24/7 during the mission. The ground control teams and 
spaceflight crews have used past missions' experiences, both 
challenges and successes, as a guide for this next step in space 
station assembly. At least three spacewalks will be conducted during 
Atlantis' flight. 

Beck's interviews will be conducted live via the NASA Television 
analog satellite. To participate, media must contact Tim Hinson at 
NASA's Johnson Space Center newsroom, 281-483-5111, no later than 2 
p.m. Thursday, May 31. 

The NASA TV analog satellite is AMC-6, at 72 degrees west longitude; 
transponder 5C, 3800 MHz, vertical polarization, with audio at 6.8 
MHz. For NASA TV downlink, schedule and streaming video information,

face in a bar mirror, I wondered if that hollow-cheeked, weary-looking lad was I. The place was crowded with revellers of the Christmastide, and geese were being diced for. There were three that pattered over the floor, while in the corner the stage-driver and a red-haired man were playing freeze-out for one of them.
I drowsed quietly. Wafts of bar-front conversation came to me. " Envelope . . . lost plans . . . great delay." Suddenly I sat up, remembering the package I had found.
"Were you looking for some lost plans?" I asked.
" Yes," said one man eagerly, " did you find them?"
" I didn't say I did, but if I could get them for you, would you cash this time-cheque for me ? "
"Sure," he says, " one good turn deserves another. Deliver the goods and I'll cash your time-cheque."
His face was frank and jovial. I drew out the envelope and handed it over. He hurriedly ran through the contents and saw that all were there.
" Ha! That saves a trip to 'Frisco," he said, gay with relief.
He turned to the bar and ordered a round of drinks. They all had a drink on him, while he seemed to forget about me. I waited a little, then pressed forward with my time-cheque.
" Oh that," said he, " I won't cash that. I was only joshing."

STASSER
It is an extraordinary experience for me to write a 'report' about Leon I-leppel.
As the most influential teacher in my own career, I'm sure he has written about
me often.  Eut I have not previously been called upon to write about him.  Some
of my thoughts about Leon are put down here.  They convince me that he should
have the support of the Guggenheirn Foundation.  I am hopeful that the Committee
of Selection will agree.

an individual some years older than the specified age.  For at least twenty years,
Leon himself has Jokingly complained about the effects of age and ageing on his
ability to work.  All the while, he has grown progressively younger, and worked
progresslvely harder,  The fteld of nucleic acid biochemistry had his attention
for 15 years.  During that time, he made fundamental contributions to the under-
standing of enzymes that function wfth nucleic acids as substrates and developed
the methodologies which are still being used and ampl4fieQ.  It is important to
realize that in the early 1950s, when he began working on nucleic acids, almost
nothing was known about their structure, enzymology, or metabolism.  Leon's lab
drew a series of visitors anxious to learn techniques and ideas.  The group
i ne1 uded Mars ha1 1 Gi renberg and H I Gobi nd Khorana .

posttfon as a senior, respected individual in the field, Leon moved to another
'undeveloped' area in the mid 1960s.  This was the field of bacterial cell mem-
branes and transport of metabolites across the membranes,  Again, he made
fundamental contributions both to methodology and to mechanisms.  Again , other
investigators have come to him to learn,

Now it seems that Leon is once more interested in a change in direction.
Characteristically, his brief sutmerry In the reports you sent to me goes,
succinctly, to the heart of some very messy and confuslng data,  Also charac-
teristically, he has set forth a straightforward and perceptive outline of
how order night be made of the many observations.  The heart of the outline
Js in the proposed experiments, not In a discussion.

I suppose that the Cmittee is especially interested in why it should support

In spite of the many remaining interestlng problems, and in spite of his

Age, then, is an trrelevancy when considering Leon.  h'is constant involve-
ment in new ideass his unfaltering belief that the strength of science is In
experimentatton, his unflagging ability to spend long hours at the bench --
all these speak to his youth.  It 9s only those of us who try to take him as
a model and keep up wfth him that are exhausted.  The Guggenheim Foundation's
money could not be better spent.  Leon will surely accomplish important
thlngs, and the people in Stoker's laboratory will have an unequalled oppor-
tunity to find out what a scientist should be like.

MISS JANET D. STEIGER, CHAIRMAN
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION


DEAR MADAM CHAIRMAN:

WHY IS THE FTC CONSTANTLY DEFENDING THE JAPANESE CAR MAKERS TACTICS
OF USING MISLEADING ADVERTISING TO LURE AMERICANS INTO BELIEVING THAT
BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS IS AS BENEFICIAL TO THE U.S.A. AS BUYING GM,
CHRYSLER, OR FORD PRODUCTS.

THE LAST RESPONSE WHICH I RECEIVED FROM THE FTC WAS NOTHING MORE THAN
A LOT OF BUREAUCRATIC DOUBLE TALK.  STATING THAT, AT THE TIME OF
PURCHASE, THERE SHOULD BE A STICKER OR WHATEVER THAT STATES WHERE
THE COMPONENTS WERE MANUFACTURED.  THAT IS LIKE CLOSING THE BARN
DOOR AFTER THE HORSE IS GONE.  THEIR  COMMERCIALS DO THE DAMAGE, TO
LURE BUYERS INTO THEIR SHOWROOMS, THEY STATE THAT THEIR CARS ARE
MADE/BUILT IN AMERICA.

ISN'T THE FTC RESPONSIBLE TO INSURE THAT COMMERCIALS DO NOT CONTAIN
MISLEADING  OR AMBIGUOUS STATEMENTS?  FOR EXAMPLE, ONE TOYOTO
COMMERCIAL STATES THAT THEIR "FLAGSHIP" CAR THE AVALON IS MADE IN
AMERICA.  TOYOTO DOES NOT HAVE A SINGLE MANUFACTURING PLANT IN
AMERICA, LIKE GM, CHRYSLER OR FORD.

THE PRESENT GM SITUATION, WITH THE STRIKE AT ONE OF THEIR COMPONENT
MANUFACTURING PLANTS, IS INDICATIVE OF THE VAST NETWORK OF
MANUFACTURERS WHICH IS REQUIRED TO MAKE/BUILD A CAR.  NO JAPENESE
COMPANY HAS A SINGLE SUCH PLANT IN AMERICA, SO WHY DO YOU LET THEM
SAY, IN THEIR COMMERCIALS, THAT THEIR CARS ARE MADE IN AMERICA?

NASA'S SUPER GUPPY GETS NEW LANDING GEAR

GUPPY GEAR CHANGE -- NASA's B-377SGT Super Guppy Turbine cargo 
aircraft, operated by NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, 
recently underwent a landing gear change at NASA's Dryden Flight 
Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base. After jacking the immense 
cargo lifter up inside Hangar 1623, a team of JSC technicians removed 
its existing landing gear struts, wheels and tires and replaced them 
with a spare set, and then cycled the gear up and down to ensure 
proper operation. The unique aircraft, one of only four built and the 
last one still flying, transports oversized assemblies such as 
International Space Station modules, over long distances for NASA. 
Earlier Guppy-type aircraft have served NASA in this role since the 
Apollo days, when several of the type carried Saturn V moon rocket 
segments from manufacturers around the country to the NASA Kennedy 
Space Center for assembly prior to launch.

{description}   The one-man submarine dubbed DeepWorker 2000 sits on the deck of
                Liberty Star, one of two KSC solid rocket booster recovery ships.
                Inside the sub is the pilot, Anker Rasmussen. The sub is being
                tested on its ability to duplicate the sometimes hazardous job
                United Space Alliance (USA) divers perform to recover the
                expended boosters in the ocean after a launch. The boosters
                splash down in an impact area about 140 miles east of
                Jacksonville and after recovery are towed back to KSC for
                refurbishment by the specially rigged recovery ships. DeepWorker
                2000 was built by Nuytco Research Ltd., North Vancouver, British
                Columbia. It is 8.25 feet long, 5.75 feet high, and weighs 3,800
                pounds. USA is a prime contractor to NASA for the Space Shuttle
                program.

A chart is captioned "Table 2. Stress/Failure Analysis Outline".  A total
of six steps are identified in the chart used in performing stress/failure
analysis.  The steps include requirements and loads determination (including
dynamic loads, static (or equivalent static) loads, strength, displacement,
and cyclic life), material characterization (including structural goals
versus material parameters), structural modeling (including discretized
numerical model (e.g., finite element model) and analytical (closed form)
solution of idealized geometry and loading), determination of structural
response (including linear/non-linear, resonant frequency check if linear,
forced dynamic response if required, deformations, internal forces and
stresses), failure modes check (including margin of safety for ultimate
failure, yielding, instability, etc. and safe life for fracture if
applicable), optimization and redesign if necessary, and documentation.

                                            NSCAT/South America

This is a radar image of the Amazon rainforest in South America 
taken by the NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) onboard Japan's Advanced 
Earth Observing Satellite. The scatterometer's primary function 
is to study winds over the oceans, but scientists have devised a 
way of studying changes in the instrument's radar backscatter to 
look at land surfaces as well.  The scatterometer's radar is 
sensitive to conditions on the Earth's surface, such as the type 
and density of vegetation.  Tropical rainforests are critical to 
the climatic health of  the Earth and are thought to contain half 
of all the world's species.  This false color image is being used 
by scientists to identify types of vegetation on the surface. 
Blue and purple areas are tropical rainforest and green and 
yellow regions are woodlands and savanna.  Mountains and degraded 
farm lands show up as black. The scatterometer instrument is a 
new tool in land studies and allows for comparisons over long 
time spans in order to assess the extent of tropical 
deforestation in this sensitive area. NSCAT was launched from 
Japan on August 16, 1996, and the mission represents the first 
major collaboration between the two nations in Earth remote-
sensing. JPL developed, built and manages the NSCAT instrument 
for NASA's Mission to Planet Earth program.

Si je n'avais pas craint d'aventurer mon canot  travers les broussailles impntrables, qui en empchent le portage, j'en aurais commenc la navigation de l'endroit mme, o elles jaillissent.
Je ne puis me lasser d'examiner, et d'admirer les moindres objets, qui environnent ce lieu. Ce Fleuve Majestueusx, qui embrasse un Monde, qui mugit dans ses cataractes, n'est,  ses sources, qu'une Naade craintive, qui sort furtivement du milieu des roseaux, et des broussailles, qui obstruent sa marche. Ce Mississippi fameux, dont le cours, dit-on, est de douze cents lieux, et qui voit naviguer dans ses eaux des navires, et des sleam-boats, de la grandeur des frgates, n'est  sa source, qu'un petit ruisseau, d'une eau crystalline, qui se cache dans les joncs, et le riz Sauvage, qui semblent insulter  sa naissance.

<p>A few years ago we had a really great cafeteria which cost the Lab $1 million
  per year so [the Lab] decided to outsource it promising us better food for
  less money. I questioned whether that would be the case or not at the time,
  and sure
  enough the quality of food at the cafeteria has declined over time as has the
  number of employees who eat there. Who knows if the Laboratory has saved
  anything on the cafeteria, but it has become more difficult for employees to
  get a quick,
  healthy meal. Consider this next time someone suggests outsourcing as a solution
  to a problem. In addition GAO studies show that, in general, outsourcing does
  not save the government money.<br>

                lunar landing later this summer. Cernan and Stafford are to
                detach the lunar module and drop to within 10 miles of the moon's
                surface before rejoining Young in the command/service module.
                Looking on as Cernan puts on his soft helmet is Snoopy, the
                lovable cartoon mutt whose name will be the lunar module code
                name during the Apollo 10 flight. The command/service module is
                to bear the code name Charlie Brown.

<p><b><font size="+1"> New health care provider</font></b></p>
<p>I wait with great interest as the Lab unveils more info on  the new health
  care
provider United Health Care. </p>
<p>Yet I hear the lyrics from an old song by the
  Who ringing in my ears, &quot;Meet the new boss, same as the  old boss, we
  won't be fooled again.&quot;</p>
<p>While I have never been a big supporter of Blue Cross Blue Shield,  my skepticism
  is truly getting the better of me.  If  I had to guess what the new boss is
  like I am  betting
  we will be slapped with a higher co-pay,  higher deductible and more restrictive
  choice  of primary care physicians as well as referral  physicians.</p>
<p>This is not
  to say that I am not thankful for the  benefits here at the Lab. I am saying
  that ever since  the change from Qual Med to Lovelace a few years  back, the
  health care system has gone downhill at  a greater pace then ever before.<br>

STS-102
Report # 15 
Thursday, March 15, 2001  7 a.m. CST 
 
Aboard the International Space Station today, astronauts and cosmonauts
assembled and partially activated a key piece of construction equpment -
the control station for a 58-foot-long robot arm that will be delivered to
the station next month.

Expedition Two Flight Engineers Jim Voss and Susan Helms spent most of
their workday installing the Space Station Remote Manipulator System
workstation inside the Destiny laboratory. They activated a portion of the
system that will be used to route television pictures from docked space
shuttles to the control station for use by arm operators. The remaining
activation work will start after Discovery undocks Saturday evening.

The Canadian-built appendage will be delivered on the STS-100 mission --
set to launch April 19 - and attached to the Lab Cradle Assembly that Voss
and Helms bolted to the side of the Destiny laboratory module during their
space walk Sunday. The station arms first job will be to install the
airlock on STS-104, set for launch this June. 

Load master Andy Thomas coordinated the transfer of equipment, supplies,
trash and luggage between the station and shuttle with the help of
Expedition Two Commander Yury Usachev and fellow Mission Specialist Paul
Richards. All five tons of equipment and supplies delivered aboard the
Leonardo module have been transferred to the station. The crew is now
concentrating on packing trash, unneeded equipment and luggage in the
Italian-built Multipurpose Logistics Module for return to Earth.

Commander Jim Wetherbee and Pilot Jim Kelly answered questions posed by
reporters in the area of Burlington, Iowa, Kellys hometown. Wetherbee,
Expedition One Commander Bill Shepherd, Usachev and Thomas talked with
school children in Dundee, Scotland, who are following the mission because
the crew is carrying a piece of the sailing research ship RRS Discovery
launched 100 years ago at Dundee.

The astronauts and cosmonauts also took some time off to rest after a busy
week, and to continue handing over duties aboard the scientific outpost.

The station and shuttle are orbiting in fine fashion at an altitude of 240
statute miles following a 50-minute long series of reboost maneuvers. The
gentle, repeated firings of Discoverys smallest steering jets took place
a day earlier than originally planned to ensure that the complex would
remain clear of a piece of equipment that floated free during the
missions first spacewalk. Further tracking has shown that the 10.5-pound
Portable Foot Restraint Attachment Device is about 20 miles below and in
front of the shuttle-station complex. Two more reboosts for the station
are planned Friday and Saturday.

The next Mission Control Center status report will be issued Thursday
evening.

Dear Doctor Talbott:

  I hdve been thinking &bout your letter of June 29th but must
apologize for not heving acknauledged it sooner.

  I certainly agree with you about the importance of bringing
recent progress in genetics to the ctttention of the medicdl
profession.  What I am icss certain of is the best wns of doing
this.  It is hard to know what one could effectively dccanplish
by a few brief articles.  However, there have been some efforts
alone these i i nes cl 1 reedy, for example, in Scope though I suspect
they my serve better to el i ci t interest thorn to inform.    *

  We are just getting our own new teaching program underway and
this would not be d propitious tlmo for me to eccept a commitment
to do more writing in this field.  In any cxse, f suspect thcit
there may be some others who are rather closer to the problems of
applied genetics in which your professional rmders would be most
immediately interested -- for example, Arno Flotulsky dt Sekittle,
Jim Neal et Ann Arbor end James Crow at Madison. However, I ctm
really not trying to shuck off the problem altogothsr and I will
be thinking about it during the next severe1 months.  If I &fl
furnish any more constructive suggestions, I will hasten to do so.

Thank you for call lng on m.

Yours sincerely,

Jt/Jh

Professor of Genetics
