Gerald E. Frick, a vice president Marsh & McLennan, Inc., a ijor insurance brokerage, pre- :ted in a recent speech in London outer space exploitation might come a $30 billion a year industry s s the end of this century, ident P^ck said this figure woidd be the tal for military and governmental is of outer space facilities and mercial uses such as data and ilevision and radio transmission. )0ut (( ‘Frick was addressing an audience , n ; Df insurance people including more ,j , than 100 prominent European un derwriters. paratpi Frick said the space shuttle, or pace Transportation System pro- ; gret am may include missions with a of sue igh proportion of commercial users /etfiel n board that will require as much estingi 5 $100 million in insurance cover- [e for the shuttle portion of the oteclii mission. At present, the total insur- is a sail ce coverage available in the world r US e; tarket for a space launch is limited ,ears a! about $50 million, testini Frick said if business for commer- al and government account does earcH ‘ach a global volume of $30 billion ;ar Cat 'year, “this would require a lot of paratfi surance, much of it probably in itsofro pes of policies not yet developed.” withtli Space operation insurance al- |ady has come a long way, Frick g S afc) lid. When the first telecommunica- laraq© Dns satellite, the Early Bird, was lunched in 1965, insurance was ase Cu Vailable only for the pre-launch op- : has: erations from companies engaged in lungt Writing avaiation policies. Marsh & McLennan got into the space insurance business early, working with various companies to provide coverage for the Intelsat III series in 1968. In 1975, the com pany wrote a three-year policy to in sure the active life of three RCA satellites orbiting the earth. In addition to the military and communications operations of space satellites that could produce profit able insurable commercial opera tions, Frick sees satellites becoming important in solar energy, in ad vance geological exploration for oil and other resources, and to create “space hospitals” with conditions especially favorable for some kinds of surgery such as spinal cord fusion. Most exciting of all, Frick envisions the possibility of substan tial space industry early in the next century. Asked why he believes space travel might become popular, Frick said curiosity could cause people to take “space vacations” even by the end of this century. And taking a cue from the science fictioneers, he said “the earth has a finite amount of living space, so if science finds a way to make the sur face of some of the planets habitable for man, it is quite possible full-time living colonies will be established there to exploit mineral and other potential wealth.” THE LAWYER’S CHOICE MARVIN O.

If you’re a Bank of A&M checking customer, your service charges are now computed on “average daily balance” rather than the “minimum daily balance.” The computer schedule is nearly the same. But the net effect of the difference could save you $1.00 or $2.00 a month. Not every customer will benefit (it depends on your account’s balance during the month). In no case, however, will a customer pay more service charges under this new system than was assessed during the standard “minimum daily balance” schedule. If you’re a Bank of A&M customer, you may spend less money on banking service than ever before. If you’re not a Bank of A&M customer, here’s another reason to switch. We’re more than a bank because you’re more than a customer. That’s our slogan - and lower service charges is one way to prove it. Bank of A&M 111 UNIVERSITY DRIVE / MEMBER FDIC
