(AP) —- Fourteen-year-old Tami
Quinn in Grants Pass, Ore., raised
$6,000 for NASA. “Star Trek IV”
audiences see a dedication to Chal
lenger’s crew as the film opens. New
Hampshire plans a planetarium to
honor Christa McAuliffe.
The international outpouring of
grief that began last Jan. 28, when
the space shuttle exploded, has been
channeled into dozens of projects
over the past year to remember the
astronauts in song, scholarships,
paintings and monuments.
The largest is the Challenger Cen
ter project taken on by the crew
members’ families.
They are trying to raise $50 mil
lion for a space science teaching lab
oratory in Washington and a re
gional center in Houston, and to
provide scholarships and sabbaticals
for teachers to attend. About
$250,000 had been raised by Jan. 6,
and the families hope businesses will
donate 10 percent of their sales on
Wednesday’s anniversary.
The Tennessee Education Asso
ciation is sponsoring Tennessee
Space Week this week, with lessons
geared toward space. Television and
radio stations in the state plan space
quizzes and space-related news cov
erage. The state also set up a teach
ing scholarship.
In another major effort, about
$1.2 million has been collected for
the Challenger astronauts’ 11 chil
dren, aged 2 to 25.
A month after the blast, children
at Livingston Park Elementary
School in North Brunswick, N.J.,
raised $400 for the fund through a
bake sale.
Tami Quinn raised $6,000 for
NASA in the “Kids for Space” fund
she established.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In 1982,
President Reagan talked of “an era
of American renewal.” In 1983, the
nation was “on the mend.” In 1984,
the country was “back, standing tall,”
in 1985 “poised for greatness” and
in 1986 “on the move.”
And in 1987?
In five State of the Union mes
sages, Reagan has painted portraits
of an America as confident and
buoyant as the image he presents
when he steps to the rostrum in the
high-ceilinged chamber of the
House of Representatives.

Tonight, however, as he goes be
fore the lawmakers again, he faces
— for the first time — a Congress
dominated in both houses by Demo
crats poised to launch major investi
gations of alleged misdeeds by his
administration.
Aides say Reagan will deal only
briefly in the speech with the crisis
brought on by secret arms sales to
Iran and the diversion of some of
the profits to aid anti-communist re
bels in Nicaragua.
Some in Congress, however, say
this could be the most important
part of the speech, arguing that the
president must assume more re-

sponsibility for what went awry in his
foreign policy.
Reagan has denied that the arms
sales were a swap for the release of
hostages and has said he knew noth
ing of the diversion of funds to the
rebels he has often acclaimed as
“freedom fighters.”
Both the House and the Senate
have created special committees to
look into these contentions and
other aspects of what is called the
Iran-Contra affair.
Much of Reagan’s speech will out
line his legislative agenda, following
the constitutional command to re
port to the lawmakers and “recom
mend to their consideration such
measures as he shall judge necessary
and expedient.”
Among these measures are ex
pected to be proposals to overhaul
the welfare system and the federal
budget process. Both are familiar
Reagan themes, which he has
pushed with mixed success in pre
vious State of the Union messages.
This year’s speech will mark the
president’s first major personal ap
pearance since his Jan. 5 surgery for
an enlarged prostate. Doctors say his
recovery, expected to take six weeks,
is proceeding satisfactorily.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A rush
to take advantage of expiring tax
breaks helped push sales of existing
homes to an all-time monthly high in
December, closing out the best year
for home resales since 1979, a real
estate trade group said Monday.
The National Association of Real
tors said existing single-family
homes were sold at a seasonally ad
justed annual rate of 4.17 million
units last month, 6.6 percent higher
than November and the highest
monthly sales pace on record.
Analysts attributed the big surge
to unusually warm December
weather and a rush by some home-
owners to sell while their profits
would still be taxed at favorable capi
tal gain rates before the new tax law
took effect on Jan. 1.
“This change was particularly im
portant to sellers of higher-priced
properties who wanted to take their
capital gains under the old tax
rules,” association economist Glenn
Crellin said.
For all of 1986, sales of existing
homes totaled 3.57 million units,
10.9 percent higher than 1985 and
the best annual sales total since 1979,
when 3.83 million existing homes
were sold.
Analysts attributed the strength
last year to a dramatic drop in mort
gage rates, which fell below double
digits for the first time this decade.
Currently, fixed-rate mortgages are
averaging 9.1 percent, the lowest
level since January 1978, according
to a weekly survey by the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corp.
A belief that mortgage rates will
hold at this level or decline even
more in coming months is leading
economists to forecast that sales of
both newly built and existing single
family homes will rise even higher in
1987. Sales of new homes for 1986
are expected to top 700,000 units
when December figures are released
early next month.
