Chamber head:
Economy better
United Press International
NORFOLK, Va. — Sounding
the same themes as much of the
Reagan administration and the
business community, the presi
dent of the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce says the economy is
on its way out of recession.
“As the (stock) market broke
1,000, I think this shows that
quite a lot of businessmen not
only believe in a recovery, but
they believe strong enough to
bet money on it,’’ said Paul
Thayer, who was elected in
April as president of the
250,000-member Chamber.

SPACE CENTER, Houston
— The four astronauts who will
fly the space shuttle Columbia
on its fifth mission were sche
duled to climb into land-based
simulators Wednesday to begin
a 56-hour “dry-rCm” of their
flight.
“It will be just as if they were
in the spacecraft except they are
here on Earth,” said Johnson
Space Center spokesman Steve
Nesbitt.
The 56-hour simulation is de
signed to prepare mission com
mander Vance Brand and crew
members Bob Overmyer, Joe
Allen and Bill Lenoir for Col
umbia’s first operational mis
sion, which is scheduled for
launch Nov. 1 1.
“The crew will be in simula
tors and mission control will be
fully staffed,” Nesbitt said.
“There will be simulated prob
lems ... and we ll attempt to fol
low the time line of the mission
and accomplish the objectives of
(that portion) of the mission.”
The most important objective
of the Columbia’s next voyage is
the launching of two satellites
from the shuttle’s payload bay.
