He said he was “90 percent certain” project officials won clear Columbia for launch wi the faulty regulator, though it meant the shipwoul taki ■ squai Sum Women’s BASS DEXTER Casuals, Sale Priced 20% Off BRAZOS AVIATION NOW FEATURING: FLIGHT INSTRUCTION CHARTER SERVICE RENTAL & SALES 696-8767 XMKMKQKMMKKEXK erf be taking off without a baefe system in part of its cont system.
