    Space Environment Center Funding in Jeopardy
    NEWINGTON, CT, Oct 3, 2003--With final action pending by the US House and Senate on a Fiscal Year 2004 federal budget bill, the fate of the Space Environment Center (SEC) in Boulder, Colorado, hangs in the balance. The FY 2004 Senate appropriations bill eliminates funds for the SEC and for all space weather-related activities in the center's parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The House version of the appropriations bill holds the center's funding at $5.2 million--a 40-percent reduction from FY 2002 levels. President George W. Bush requested $8.3 million for the SEC. Seattle-based ARRL propagation bulletin editor Tad Cook, K7RA, says the possible loss of Space Environment Center funding has him very concerned.
