Moss, chairman of the Aeronautical and Space Sciences Committee said in an interview in Washington. I am honored that my Democratic colleagues have selected me to be chairman of the Senate Committee on Aeronautical and Space Sciences. This is a challenging and important assignment. I look forward to working with the members of this Committee. Aerospace is important to this country. It is the leading industry in Utah and, therefore, of vital interest to my constituents. A spokesman from Business Research at the University of Utah advised me that there are 19,000 jobs dependent upon aerospac in Utah. Many people may have the impression that the space, program is over now that the last Apollo moon landing has taken place. This is not the case. One important phase of our space exploration program has ended, but a new phase, a more productive phase in terms of benefits to man on earth, has already Senator Frank E. Moss begun. Indeed, Congress in enacting the National Space Act, stated that activities in space should be devoted to the peaceful purposes for the benefit of mankind.

The Department of Transportation has dropped the law into laps of the local governing officials without any funding support. Thus the cost of the protection of the passengers from any attempted hijacking in the future will have to be paid by those persons using the airways. Commissioner Harrison said that lacking other means a head tax probably of 50c would have to be attached to each ticket price. Congress recently attempted to abolish head tax assessments but President Nixon vetoed the bill. Another bill is expected to be drafted this year on the same subject, but it will contain an allowance for just the situation facing the nation's airports, said Commissioner Harrison. The added cost of airport security personnel and checks will total about $10 billion across the nation. The reasons for the security need is in this every day happening of the world someone is either attempting to hijack the airplane or someone is calling that there is a bomb on the plane thus causing delays to the passengers a costly delay and to the airline itself. It is for these reasons that the security is needed. The majority of the 12 men y to be hired will be Salt Lake City police personnel, but the Salt Lake County Sheriffs Office and the Utah Highway patrol will provide men if noces sary. off-dut- EDITORIAL ti Research: Key to Health Think about the birth control pill and the polio vaccine. Think about genetic counselling and organ transplants. What comes to mind is a mixture of widespread benefits as well as serious legal and ethical issues. These scientific developments are each part of a larger phenomenon: the growing social unpact of progress in the science of biology. In the future, as scientists add even more to the biological understanding of man, there will be further temptation to intervene in his behavior, his reproduction, his learning and his health. There will be more opportunities for human betterment and more possibilities for misuse. What social concerns are involved? The preservation of health, certainly, and the value of human life. When is life to begin, when allowed to end, .and how well maintained? The respect for individual rights may also be reexamined. What are the rights of the patients who submit to experiments, the genetically defective couples who want children, or the abnormally violent patient who doesnt want treatment? Against these and other social concerns must be weighed the possible benefits of die biological future: cure for disease, an end to malnutrition, a way to im-olearning. Certainly these goals are worth pursuing. Reaping the benefits without the hazards will mean vswering difficult practical questions. It will also mean ( Continued on page 4) 1 ve 72 71 |
