From The Space Library
The National Research Council (NRC) recommended that NASA abandon plans to participate in development of a commercial orbiting space laboratory that had been promoted by the Reagan administration and some members of Congress. In recommending against the development of the Industrial Space Facility, the NRC argued that experiments foreseen for the space laboratory could be performed aboard the Space Shuttle and on Shuttle-based facilities during the period leading to the completion of Space Station Freedom.
