Citizens League Against the Sonic Boom, an organization with 230 members in 18 states, had started a campaign to stop the construction of a US. SST, New York Times reported. Harvard Univ. physicist Dr. William A. Shurcliff , director of the campaign, said in a Cambridge, Mass., interview that the League would attack the SST program in Congress. "The amount of money provided thus far by Congress is less than one-quarter of what is needed to get a prototype in the air. The government must put about $1.1 billion together, and to date Congress has only supplied $200-million or $299-million. "I think our chances of stopping the program are good." (NYT, 6/18/67, 60)
