An official from the Pentagon warned members of Congress that a one-year delay in the Shuttle launches would create a backlog of 10 military missions and a 2-year delay would raise that number to 21. He and others viewed this as a "national emergency." The Air Force Undersecretary further pointed out a need for a replacement Shuttle and 10 additional expendable launch vehicles. Congressional committees, however, had not yet decided how the cost, if approved, would be shared by the Air Force and NASA. (B Sun, Mar 27/86; W Times, Mar 27/86)
