FLIGHT CONTROL OF STS-71
When the Space Shuttle Atlantis docks with the Russian Space Station Mir later this month, NASA flight controllers in both the United States and Russia will be following the action from two different Mission Control Centers.
Atlantis is currently scheduled to be launched from the Kennedy Space Center on June 23 on a mission that will be highlighted by the first docking of a Shuttle to the Mir Station.
Five NASA astronauts and two Russian cosmonauts, led by veteran Commander Robert "Hoot" Gibson, will link up to Mir and conduct almost five days of biomedical investigations as well as transfer experiments and equipment from the Mir to Atlantis to be returned to Earth.
The two Russian cosmonauts who will be launched on Atlantis will take over operation of Mir after docking, enabling three current occupants of the Space Station, including U.S. astronaut Norm Thagard, to return to Earth aboard the Shuttle following more than three months of work in orbit.
The Space Shuttle orbiter's operations will be conducted from Flight Control Room One (FCR-1) on the second floor of the MCC, located in Bldg. 30 at the Johnson Space Center.
In addition, a team of NASA consultants and technical advisors will be stationed at the Russian Mission Control Center in Kaliningrad, Russia, outside Moscow, to provide a link between the Mir flight controllers and Shuttle flight controllers located in Houston.
The MCC flight control teams for this mission will be referred to as the Ascent/Entry Team, the Orbit 1 Team, Orbit 2 Team and the Planning Team. The Ascent/Entry Team will be led by Flight Director Wayne Hale. The Orbit 1 team will be under the supervision of Lead Flight Director Bob Castle. The Orbit 2 shift will be conducted by Flight Director Phil Engelauf. The Planning Shift will be led by Flight Director Paul Dye. The NASA Consultant team in Kaliningrad will be led by veteran Flight Director Bill Reeves.

Slept for a few hours yesterday evening and woke up feeling as though I had a sunburn on my insides. Woke up this morning and noticed something wrong with my right eye. It looks as though a blood vessel burst and looks much worse than simply having bloodshot eyes. Still don't feel so great, sinuses still stuffed up.
Could've sworn today was Sunday.

The police just take me to the hospital every time I talk to them and sometimes leave me nothing but expressions of passive-aggressiveness.
from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 9/18/2006 2:18 PM
This reminds me of the last time I called the police for assistance. It was because I noticed something familiar about that Tacoma Mall terrorist. I can’t remember the date I was talking to the Seattle police but I think it was shortly after I arrived in the gulag at Pioneer Square. I remember standing there in front of the patrol car camera pointed at me as I told the police patrolman that I had suspicions that the vagrants in the area thought I was an informant. I think I wrote some of that in my journal, but that may have been the period when I was avoiding computer access. The part that stands out in my mind is that he immediately dismissed my suspicions and said that he didn’t think anyone thought I was an informant. Then, as usual, they dumped me off at the hospital. I don’t even remember them asking me any substantive questions. That was the time the paramedic told me I had high-blood pressure as I was waiting in the ER while strapped on the gurney.

C. Northcote Parkinson first propounds 'Parkinson's law', in The Economist.

The Economist
From the archive
Parkinson's Law
The report of the Royal Commission on the Civil Service was published on Thursday afternoon. Time has not permitted any comment in this week's issue of The Economist on the contents of the Report. But the startling discovery enunciated by a correspondent in the following article is certainly relevant to what should have been in it.
Nov 19th 1955 Online extra
IT is a commonplace observation that work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. Thus, an elderly lady of leisure can spend the entire day in writing and despatching a postcard to her niece at Bognor Regis. An hour will be spent in finding the postcard, another in hunting for spectacles, half-an-hour in a search for the address, an hour and a quarter in composition, and twenty minutes in deciding whether or not to take an umbrella when going to the pillar-box in the next street. The total effort which would occupy a busy man for three minutes all told may in this fashion leave another person prostrate after a day of doubt, anxiety and toil.
Granted that work (and especially paper work) is thus elastic in its demands on time, it is manifest that there need be little or no relationship between the work to be done and the size of the staff to which it may be assigned. Before the discovery of a new scientific law—herewith presented to the public for the first time, and to be called Parkinson's Law*—there has, however, been insufficient recognition of the implications of this fact in the field of public administration. Politicians and taxpayers have assumed (with occasional phases of doubt) that a rising total in the number of civil servants must reflect a growing volume of work to be done. Cynics, in questioning this belief, have imagined that the multiplication of officials must have left some of them idle or all of them able to work for shorter hours. But this is a matter in which faith and doubt seem equally misplaced. The fact is that the number of the officials and the quantity of the work to be done are not related to each other at all. The rise in the total of those employed is governed by Parkinson's Law, and would be much the same whether the volume of the work were to increase, diminish or even disappear. The importance of Parkinson's Law lies in the fact that it is a law of growth based upon an analysis of the factors by which that growth is controlled.
The validity of this recently discovered law must rest mainly on statistical proofs, which will follow. Of more interest to the general reader is the explanation of the factors that underlie the general tendency to which this law gives definition. Omitting technicalities (which are numerous) we may distinguish, at the outset, two motive forces. They can be represented for the present purpose by two almost axiomatic statements, thus:
Factor I.—An official wants to multiply subordinates, not rivals; and
Factor II.—Officials make work for each other.
We must now examine these motive forces in turn.
The Law of Multiplication of Subordinates
To comprehend Factor I, we must picture a civil servant called A who finds himself overworked. Whether this overwork is real or imaginary is immaterial; but we should observe, in passing, that A's sensation (or illusion) might easily result from his own decreasing energy—a normal symptom of middle-age. For this real or imagined overwork there are, broadly speaking, three possible remedies
(1) He may resign.
(2) He may ask to halve the work with a colleague called B.
(3) He may demand the assistance of two subordinates, to be called C and D.
There is probably no instance in civil service history of A choosing any but the third alternative. By resignation he would lose his pension rights. By having B appointed, on his own level in the hierarchy, he would merely bring in a rival for promotion to W's vacancy when W (at long last) retires. So A would rather have C and D, junior men, below him. They will add to his consequence; and, by dividing the work into two categories, as between C and D, he will have the merit of being the only man who comprehends them both.
It is essential to realise, at this point, that C and D are, as it were, inseparable. To appoint C alone would have been impossible. Why? Because C, if by himself, would divide the work with A and so assume almost the equal status which has been refused in the first instance to B; a status the more emphasised if C is A's only possible successor. Subordinates must thus number two or more, each being kept in order by fear of the other's promotion. When C complains in turn of being overworked (as he certainly will) A will, with the concurrence of C, advise the appointment of two assistants to help C. But he can then avert internal friction only by advising the appointment of two more assistants to help D, whose position is much the same. With this recruitment of E, F, G and H, the promotion of A is now practically certain.
The Law of Multiplication of Work
Seven officials are now doing what one did before. This is where Factor II comes into operation. For these seven make so much work for each other that all are fully occupied and A is actually working harder than ever. An incoming document may well come before each of them in turn. Official E decides that it falls within the province of F, who places a draft reply before C, who amends it drastically before consulting D, who asks G to deal with it. But G goes on leave at this point, handing the file over to H, who drafts a minute, which is signed by D and returned to C, who revises his draft accordingly and lays the new version before A.
What does A do? He would have every excuse for signing the thing unread, for he has many other matters on his mind. Knowing now that he is to succeed W next year, he has to decide whether C or D should succeed to his own office. He had to agree to G going on leave, although not yet strictly entitled to it. He is worried whether H should not have gone instead, for reasons of health. He has looked pale recently—partly but not solely because of his domestic troubles. Then there is the business of F's special increment of salary for the period of the conference, and E's application for transfer to the Ministry of Pensions. A has heard that D is in love with a married typist and that G and F are no longer on speaking terms—no one seems to know why. So A might be tempted to sign C's draft and have done with it.
But A is a conscientious man. Beset as he is with problems created by his colleagues for themselves and for him—created by the mere fact of these officials' existence—he is not the man to shirk his duty. He reads through the draft with care, deletes the fussy paragraphs added by C and H and restores the thing back to the form preferred in the first instance by the able (if quarrelsome) F. He corrects the English—none of these young men can write grammatically—and finally produces the same reply he would have written if officials C to H had never been born. Far more people have taken far longer to produce the same result. No one has been idle. All have done their best. And it is late in the evening before A finally quits his office and begins the return journey to Ealing. The last of the office lights are being turned off in the gathering dusk which marks the end of another day's administrative toil. Among the last to leave, A reflects, with bowed shoulders and a wry smile, that late hours, like grey hairs, are among the penalties of success.
The Scientific Proofs
From this description of the factors at work the student of political science will recognise that administrators are more or less bound to multiply. Nothing has yet been said, however, about the period of time likely to elapse between the date of A's appointment and the date from which we can calculate the pensionable service of H. Vast masses of statistical evidence have been collected and it is from a study of this data that Parkinson's Law has been deduced. Space will not allow of detailed analysis, but research began in the British Navy Estimates. These were chosen because the Admiralty's responsibilities are more easily measurable than those of (say) the Board of Trade.
The accompanying table is derived from Admiralty statistics for 1914 and 1928. The criticism voiced at the time centred on the comparison between the sharp fall in numbers of those available for fighting and the sharp rise in those available only for administration, the creation, it was said, of “a magnificent Navy on land.” But that comparison is not to the present purpose. What we have to note is that the 2,000 Admiralty officials of 1914 had become the 3,569 of 1928; and that this growth was unrelated to any possible increase in their work. The Navy during that period had diminished, in point of fact, by a third in men and two-thirds in ships. Nor, from 1922 onwards, was its strength even expected to increase, for its total of ships (unlike its total of officials) was limited by the Washington Naval Agreement of that year. Yet in these circumstances we had a 78.45 per cent increase in Admiralty officials over a period of fourteen years; an average increase of 5.6 per cent a year on the earlier total. In fact, as we shall see, the rate of increase was not as regular as that. All we have to consider, at this stage, is the percentage rise over a given period.
Can this rise in the total number of civil servants be accounted for except on the assumption that such a total must always rise by a law governing its growth? It might be urged, at this point, that the period under discussion was one of rapid development in naval technique. The use of the flying machine was no longer confined to the eccentric. Submarines were tolerated if not approved. Engineer officers were beginning to be regarded as almost human. In so revolutionary an age we might expect that storekeepers would have more elaborate inventories to compile. We might not wonder to see more draughtsmen on the pay-roll, more designers, more technicians and scientists. But these, the dockyard officials, increased only by 40 per cent in number, while the men of Whitehall increased by nearly 80 per cent. For every new foreman or electrical engineer at Portsmouth there had to be two more clerks at Charing Cross. From this we might be tempted to conclude, provisionally, that the rate of increase in administrative staff is likely to be double that of the technical staff at a time when the actually useful strength (in this case, of seamen) is being reduced by 31.5 per cent. It has been proved, however, statistically, that this last percentage is irrelevant. The officials would have multiplied at the same rate had there been no actual seamen at all.
It would be interesting to follow the further progress by which the 8,118 Admiralty staff of 1935 came to number 33,788 by 1954. But the staff of the Colonial Office affords a better field of study during a period of Imperial decline. The relevant statistics are set down below. Before showing what the rate of increase is, we must observe that the extent of this department's responsibilities was far from constant during these twenty years. The colonial territories were not much altered in area or population between 1935 and 1939. They were considerably diminished by 1943, certain areas being in enemy hands. They were increased again in 1947, but have since then shrunk steadily from year to year as successive colonies achieve self-government.
It would be rational, prior to the discovery of Parkinson's Law, to suppose that these changes in the scope of Empire would be reflected in the size of its central administration. But a glance at the figures shows that the staff totals represent automatic stages in an inevitable increase. And this increase, while related to that observed in other departments, has nothing to do with the size—or even the existence—of the Empire. What are the percentages of increase? We must ignore, for this purpose, the rapid increase in staff which accompanied the diminution of responsibility during World War II. We should note rather the peacetime rates of increase; over 5.24 per cent between 1935 and 1939, and 6.55 per cent between 1947 and 1954. This gives an average increase of 5.89 per cent each year, a percentage markedly similar to that already found in the Admiralty staff increase between 1914 and 1928.
Further and detailed statistical analysis of departmental staffs would be inappropriate in such an article as this. It is hoped, however, to reach a tentative conclusion regarding the time likely to elapse between a given official's first appointment and the later appointment of his two or more assistants. Dealing with the problem of pure staff accumulation, all the researches so far completed point to an average increase of about 5¾ per cent per year. This fact established, it now becomes possible to state Parkinson's Law in mathematical form, thus:
In any public administrative department not actually at war the staff increase may be expected to follow this formula:
Where k is the number of staff seeking promotion through the appointment of subordinates; p represents the difference between the ages of appointment and retirement; m is the number of man-hours devoted to answering minutes within the department; and n is the number of effective units being administered. Then x will be the number of new staff required each year.
Mathematicians will, of course, realise that to find the percentage increase they must multiply x by 100 and divide by the total of the previous year, thus:
where y represents the total original staff. And this figure will invariably prove to be between 5.17 per cent and 6.56 per cent, irrespective of any variation in the amount of work (if any) to be done.
The discovery of this formula and of the general principles upon which it is based has, of course, no emotive value. No attempt has been made to inquire whether departments ought to grow in size. Those who hold that this growth is essential to gain full employment are fully entitled to their opinion. Those who doubt the stability of an economy based upon reading each other's minutes are equally entitled to theirs. Parkinson's Law is a purely scientific discovery, inapplicable except in theory to the politics of the day. It is not the business of the botanist to eradicate the weeds. Enough for him if he can tell us just how fast they grow.

This image from STS-1 reminds me of something from the Taylor. We were in Gitmo during shakedown and the evaluators had the windows on the bridge covered up. We had to leave port like that, essentially flying by instrumentation and charts. While that memory would represent many different experiences from flight training, I have started wondering the past few hours if I was on STS-1 when it went up.

RELEASE: 94-039
CREW NAMED FOR FIRST SPACE SHUTTLE, MIR DOCKING MISSION
A seven-member Space Shuttle crew, led by veteran astronaut Robert L. "Hoot" Gibson (Captain, USN), will launch next year to perform the first docking with the Russian Space Station Mir to exchange crews.
Joining Gibson on the mission will be Pilot Charlie Precourt (Lt. Col., USAF) and Mission Specialists Dr. Ellen Baker, Greg Harbaugh and Bonnie Dunbar. Russian cosmonauts Anatoly Solovyev and Nikolai Budarin will serve as the Mir-19 crew and replace Vladimir Dezhurov, Gennadiy Strekalov and astronaut Norman Thagard who are scheduled to be launched aboard a Soyuz spacecraft next March for a three month stay on the Space Station as the Mir-18 crew.
STS-71 is currently scheduled for launch in mid-1995 using the orbiter Atlantis, which has been modified to carry a docking system compatible with the Russian Mir Space Station.
The orbiter will carry a Spacelab module in the payload bay in which various life sciences experiments and data collection will take place throughout the 10-day mission.
Gibson, 47, currently Chief of the Astronaut Office, will be making his fifth flight aboard the Shuttle. His most recent mission was commander of Endeavour's STS-47 flight in September 1992, a cooperative Spacelab mission with Japan. Gibson's first flight as pilot of STS 41-B was in February 1984 aboard Challenger. That flight included deployment of two satellites and the first use of the free-flying Manned Maneuvering Unit by an astronaut. The 8-day mission ended with the first landing at the Kennedy Space Center, Fla.

The STS 61-C flight of Columbia in January 1986 was Gibson's second mission and first as commander. The six-day flight included a communications satellite deployment and the conduct of several astrophysics and materials processing experiments. He next commanded Atlantis' STS-27 Department of Defense mission in December 1988.
Gibson considers Lakewood, Calif., to be his hometown. Active in the Navy since 1969, he holds a bachelor of science degree in aeronautical engineering from California Polytechnic State University.
Precourt, 38, will be making his second Shuttle flight. Since his first mission aboard Columbia in April 1993, Precourt has served in Mission Control as an ascent and entry spacecraft communicator (CAPCOM).
His first Shuttle flight, STS-55, was a German-sponsored Spacelab mission during which nearly 90 experiments investigating life sciences, materials sciences, physics, robotics, astronomy and the Earth and its atmosphere were conducted.
Precourt considers Hudson, Mass., to be his hometown. He has a master of science degree in engineering management from the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1977 and a master of arts degree in national security affairs and strategic studies from the U.S. Naval War College in 1990.
Baker, 41, was a mission specialist on two previous flights: STS-34 in October 1989 and STS-50 in June 1992. Prior to this assignment, Baker has been working Space Station operations issues.
Her first flight aboard Atlantis started the mission of the Galileo spacecraft currently on its way to study Jupiter. Her second mission was aboard Columbia on the first United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML-1) mission lasting two weeks. This first Extended Duration Orbiter flight included experimentation in crystal growth, fluid physics, fluid dynamics, biological science and combustion science.
Baker considers New York City her hometown. She received her doctorate of medicine degree from Cornell University in 1978.
Harbaugh, 38, has flown twice in space as a mission specialist: STS-39 aboard Discovery in April 1991 and on Endeavour's STS-54 mission in January 1993. Since that flight he has served as a CAPCOM in Mission Control and as the backup spacewalking expert for the Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission last year.

-3-
Harbaugh's first mission was the unclassified Department of Defense flight on which he operated the Shuttle's Remote Manipulator System (RMS) or Shuttle robot arm and the Infrared Background Signature Survey spacecraft.
Harbaugh's most recent flight included deployment of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite and a spacewalk designed to refine training methods, and expand the experience of ground controllers, instructors and astronauts leading to assembly of the International Space Station.
Harbaugh's hometown is Willoughby, Ohio. He received a master of science degree in physical science from the University of Houston-Clear Lake in 1986.
Dunbar, 44, is currently training as the backup crew member to Norm Thagard for the Soyuz-Mir 18 mission in Star City, Russia. STS-71 will be her fourth Shuttle flight. She was a mission specialist on STS 61-A in October 1985, STS-32 in January 1990 and STS-50 in 1992.
Challenger's STS 61-A mission was the first German-sponsored Spacelab flight (Spacelab D-1). It was the first mission to carry eight crew members and the first that saw payload activities controlled from outside the U.S. More than 75 experiments were conducted during the seven-day flight.
Dunbar next flew aboard Columbia on the STS-32 mission to retrieve the Long Duration Exposure Facility which she secured using the RMS.
Most recently she flew aboard Columbia as the payload commander on the first United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML-1) mission.
Dunbar was born in Sunnyside, Wash. She received her doctorate in biomedical engineering from the University of Houston in 1983.
Solovyev and Budarin will serve as the next crew to stay for an extended period aboard the Mir Space Station and are designated the Mir-19 crew. Solovyev, 45, was born in Riga, Latvia, but resides in Star City, Russia.
Budarin, 40, was born in Chuvash Autonomous Republic, Kirya, Altir region. He lives in Kaliningrad outside of Moscow, Russia.
Solovyev and Budarin will switch places with the Mir-18 crew (Dezhurov, Strekalov and Thagard) which is scheduled to conduct three months of experiments aboard Mir before returning to Earth aboard Atlantis with the other five crew members.

Thagard, 50, has flown four times on the Shuttle and will be a member of the Mir-18 crew scheduled for launch aboard a Soyuz spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Thagard's Shuttle missions include STS-7 in June 1983 and STS 51-B in April 1985, both aboard Challenger; STS-30 in May 1989 on Atlantis, and STS-42 in January 1992 aboard Discovery.
STS-7 was the first mission with a crew of five and the first to deploy and retrieve a spacecraft using the RMS. Two satellites also were deployed during the flight. Thagard's sec[Cnd flight was a[CSpacelab mission that included a research animal holding facility carrying 24 rats and two monkeys.
His third flight deployed the successful Magellan spacecraft that continues to orbit Venus. Thagard's most recent mission was the first International Microgravity Laboratory (IML-1) flight that included 55 experiments provided by investigators from 11 countries.
Dezhurov, 32, was born in Mordov Autonomous Republic, Yavas, Zubo-Polyansky district. He resides in Star City.
Strekalov, 53, was born in Mitishchi outside of Moscow, Russia and now resides in Moscow.

William H. P. Blandy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Henry Purnell Blandy (June 28, 1890 – January 12, 1954), known to friends as "Spike", was an admiral in the United States Navy during World War II.
Biography
Born in New York City 28 June 1890, Blandy graduated first in his class from the United States Naval Academy in 1913. He participated in the occupation of Veracruz, Mexico in 1914 and served on board the battleship Florida (BB-30) with the British Grand Fleet during World War I. During World War II he was Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance from 1941 to 1943. Here he had a controversial role in the infamous torpedo scandal involving the initially practically useless Mark 14 torpedo, and the long delays incurred on the work testing and launching the electric Mark 18 torpedo. In December 1943 he became Commander, Group 1, Amphibious Force, Pacific Fleet, and commanded the pre-invasion bombardment group during the campaign for Iwo Jima.
One account of Admiral Blandy during the Iwo campaign recalls:
The U.S.S. Estes was positioned about two miles off-shore during the bombardment, and Admiral Blandy, being the old Gunnery type, kept ordering the captain to come in a little closer so he could "..see the whites of their eyes..". About the time we would be within a little less than a mile from the beaches, a battery of shore guns up on the side of Mount Surabachi would start taking pot-shots at us. Geysers of water would erupt on either side of the ship, and the voice of Vice Admiral Turner in overall charge of the campaign on the U.S.S. Mount McKinley — a sister ship to the USS Estes, — would come in over the "TBS" ship to ship radio ordering Blandy to "..get your [censored] out of there before you get it blown off!". We would then back off to a safe distance, only to have the same thing happen a few hours later.
After the war he commanded Joint Task Force 1 during the atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll.
"I am not an Atomic Playboy" is a phrase attributed to Blandy while he was overseeing these tests.
Here is the complete quote:
"The bomb will not start a chain-reaction in the water, converting it all to gas and letting all the ships on all the oceans drop down to the bottom. It will not blow out the bottom of the sea and let all the water run down the hole. It will not destroy gravity. I am not an atomic playboy—as one of my critics labeled me—exploding these bombs to satisfy my personal whim."

TV Reviews : 'By Dawn's Early Light': 'Strangelove' Revisited
May 19, 1990 RAY LOYND
The nuclear thriller "By Dawn's Early Light" (on HBO tonight at 9) applies the "what-if?" scenario to a military and political horror story.
Dissidents inside the Soviet Union have duped their own government into launching missiles into the vicinity of Pennsylvania Avenue. Whoops, sorry about that, cables the Soviet president to the U.S. President (played by Martin Landau with rich dimension).
With most of the U.S. government leaders dead and Landau assumed dead, the script by Bruce Gilbert takes a delicious if derivative turn. The next in line of succession is a totally inept and blustery Secretary of the Interior (Darren McGavin), who reminds you of James Watt. He's in so far over his head that he falls prey to a Hawk (Rip Torn) who manipulates a retaliatory nuclear strike against the Soviets.
Thus, we have a "Dr. Strangelove" nightmare revisited, except this isn't satire. In the production's hardware, pacing and form, "By Dawn's Early Light" (adapted from the novel "Trinity's Child" by William Prochnau) is a frightening variation on the movie "The Hunt for Red October."
The strength of the show is the splendid cast, which includes James Earl Jones, Peter MacNicol, Jeffrey De Munn, Powers Boothe and Rebecca De Mornay.
Since we're in assorted airplanes most of the time, the nuclear havoc is visibly limited to distant fires. With imminent doom ticking away, director Jack Sholder's crosscutting does get confusing, particularly in alternating scenes between the good plane and the bad plane (both of them ours).
The cold war lives . . . sort of.

Some govenment agencies, such as NASA and the U.S. Navy and other branches of the U.S. military has shown good faith though, over the years with their efforts to protect my identity, and I take a great deal of pride in my personal association with NASA and U.S. military. My relationship with such organizations and NASA and the U.S. Navy has been to our mutual benefit, in terms of technological advances, training, and my skills as a U.S. military officer, with a sworn duty to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, of which I have described as under attack from the George Bush criminal syndicate and their criminal conspirators in the Microsoft-Corbis-Al Qaeda alliance of terroristic activity.
One detail that I cannot yet remember is why I even was compelled for so long to keep silent about my expedition to the comet in 1976, which was privately funded by me.
But yet, here I am. Ten years I have wasted when I could have been at home with my wife. All the secrecy has accomplished was to give the Microsoft-Corbis-Al Qaeda alliance time to murder more people and more time to subvert the United States government.

XLI President of the United States: 1989 - 1993
Proclamation 6027—Commendation of the Citizens of the Sioux City, Iowa, Tri-State Area
September 22, 1989
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
On July 19, 1989, our Nation was horrified by the tragic crash of a commercial airliner in Sioux City, Iowa. That catastrop the resulted in the deaths of 112 people. Our Nation mourns the loss of these individuals and grieves for their family and friends. The extent of this tragedy might have been much greater were it not for the heroic efforts of citizens in the Sioux City, Iowa, tri-State area. Residents of Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota responded swiftly to the disaster, dispatching rescue teams to the crash site and voluntarily offering shelter and solace to the injured and their families.
Today, we commend the professionalism of the emergency medical personnel who rushed to the scene or worked tirelessly at nearby hospitals to treat injured passengers. The State and local rescue units and municipal firefighters who extinguished the blaze and extricated victims following the crash demonstrated remarkable speed, skill, and preparedness. We also salute the area residents who volunteered to donate blood or contributed food, blankets, and clothing after the crash; as well as the local college officials who opened their dormitories to the survivors, the families of survivors, rescue teams, and investigators. Their compassion and generosity merit the respect and gratitude of all Americans.
In recognition of the outstanding efforts of these citizens, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 379, has commended their heroism and spirit of volunteerism and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation making such a commendation.
Now, Therefore, I, George Bush, President of the United States of America, do hereby commend the citizens of the Sioux City, Iowa, tri-State area for their extraordinary efforts in response to the tragic aircraft accident of July 19, 1989.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourteenth.

Soviet warships being watched in Gulf
Houston Chronicle News Services
TUE 11/05/1985 HOUSTON CHRONICLE
A U.S. Navy vessel is closely monitoring the movements of two Soviet warships that entered the Gulf of Mexico and came within 40 miles of the Texas coast, the U.S. Navy said.
The USS Taylor, American guidedmissile frigate, has been tracking the Soviet ships - a guided-missile destroyer and a guided-missile frigate - since they left Havana Thursday, said Lt. Cmdr. Craig Quigley, a Navy spokesman in Norfolk, Va.
The Taylor is always "within visual range" of the Soviet vessels that were last reported about 100 miles southwest of Tampa, Fla., and moving in a southeasterly direction, possibly toward Cuba, said Quigley.
However, there was no way to determine whether the Soviet warships were preparing to leave the Gulf and return to Havana. "They can always change rudder at a moment's notice," he said.
The destroyer and frigate - part of a larger group of four Soviet ships that entered the Caribbean in September - entered the Gulf Thursday, Quigley said.

I just realized that the Jeep Grand Cherokee I used to have could represent the space shuttle. Something about that lift gate on the back makes me think about the cargo hold on the shuttle. And that J.G.C. was white too. Could 1995 be the first time I was the commander of a shuttle mission?

The Man Who’s Flown Everything
Robert “Hoot” Gibson’s priorities: (1) Fly. (2) Fly some more.
By Robin White
Air & Space Magazine
April 30, 2009
“How about the beginning?” I said.
As we walked through the quiet museum, Gibson told me about his early influences. His mother was one of the few women to fly general aviation aircraft in her day; as a college student in 1943, she and two girlfriends had chipped in to buy a J-2 Taylor Cub. His father was a test pilot for the Civil Aeronautics Administration; as a kid, Gibson accompanied him on CAA business and slowly learned the art of flying. One day they were in Phoenix, having flown there in a Bonanza with one control yoke. “When it was time to return to L.A., he passed the control wheel over to me in the right seat and said, ‘It’s your takeoff.’ ” Gibson was 10. “I was so proud that he trusted me,” he recalled. “He was my inspiration.”
Gibson pointed at a diminutive Piper Super Cruiser hanging from the rafters. It was the City of Washington, the first light, personal airplane to fly around the world. “I soloed in a [Piper] Colt on my 16th birthday; it was similar to that Super Cruiser up there,” said Gibson. “We were living near Manassas, Virginia. The airport was just a grass strip, and it was a nasty day to fly: windy, rainy, a solid overcast. But my dad thought I was ready.” He got his private pilot’s license the following year.
We left the civil and general aviation displays and continued on to Modern Military Aviation. Gibson told me that in 1969, he graduated from college and entered the U.S. Navy Aviation Officer Candidate School in Pensacola, Florida. He never considered any career other than flying.
We stopped beside a McDonnell F-4 Phantom. As a young Navy aviator, “I was in awe of the F-4,” he said. “It looked so big and heavy, and the wings seemed so small…. I was reluctant to slow it down. I was sure it would fall out of the sky.” But “it was just totally rock-solid on approach to the carrier,” Gibson said. “It flew on rails at 145 knots.”
From 1972 to 1975, Gibson flew three tours in Southeast Asia off the carriers USS Coral Sea and Enterprise. He was looking forward to shore duty when his commanding officer asked an unusual question: “How would you like a third tour?”
(Continued from page 1)
“My initial reaction was: ‘Is that a joke?’ I was extremely ready to hit the beach. But then he said, ‘In an F-14.’
“No way I was turning down something like that,” Gibson said.
He was assigned to the first F-14 squadron: VF-1 at Naval Air Station Miramar in California. “I had just 30 hours in the F-14 when I went up against a thousand-hour F-4 guy. We called ‘Fight’s on!’ and 30 seconds later I was sitting in his six [behind him]. We ran the engagement three times. The results were always the same. An F-14 with a nugget [novice] at the stick could outmaneuver, outturn, and outfight a Phantom flown by an old hand.”
In 1976, Gibson got a slot in the test pilot school at Maryland’s Naval Air Station Patuxent River. There he learned to methodically wring out new designs—single-seat jets, heavy transports, helicopters—moving step by step from known to unknown. “I was exactly where I wanted to be, doing exactly the kind of flying I wanted to do. Then I picked up a copy of Aviation Week & Space Technology and saw an artist’s drawing of the space shuttle…. The shuttle was the fastest, highest-flying airplane in history, and I just had to snivel my way into the left seat.”
He sent the paperwork in to NASA. On January 16, 1978, he got the news: He was in.
That day, NASA named its eighth group of astronauts. One, a surgeon named Rhea Seddon, later became Gibson’s wife. Today, they live in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and have four children, Julie, Paul, Dann, and, the youngest at 13, Emilee.
We left the F-14 and made our way to the Museum’s space hangar, where the shuttle Enterprise reigns. “The shuttle doesn’t fly like anything else,” said Gibson. “The control surfaces are huge. When you move them, you reduce your wing area, so, at first, pulling up makes you sink. Pushing over makes you sink faster. Pulsing the stick gets you into serious trouble. Below a certain altitude, every input you make is going to be wrong.”
Gibson was picked to serve as pilot for a 1984 Challenger mission. The flight marked the first untethered spacewalk, and the first shuttle landing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, instead of Edwards Air Force Base in California. Gibson’s next mission would be as Columbia’s commander. Once in orbit, bad weather at various landing sites kept the crew up longer than scheduled. The launch of the next shuttle, Challenger, was pushed back to January 28, 1986, a morning that dawned very cold.
“I was doing a debriefing at the Johnson Space Center in Houston,” Gibson recalled. “The launch looked perfect.” But at T-plus-73 seconds, a stiff, cold-soaked O-ring in the right solid booster failed. A flare of gas burned through to the external fuel tank.
“I kept staring at the television,” said Gibson. “It took a couple of minutes before I realized that I had just watched my friends perish. Mike Smith was my instructor at test pilot school. Ellison Onizuka was my office mate for four years, Dick Scobee and Judy Resnik were both in my astronaut class. I flew my first spaceflight with Ron McNair. I’d lost friends before in aviation, but never so many all at once.”
(Continued from page 2)
Gibson next commanded a classified military mission, STS-27, to carry a surveillance satellite into orbit. Atlantis lifted off on December 2, 1988, at just after 9:30 a.m. But at T-plus-85 seconds, part of the nose cap on the right-hand solid booster broke loose and shattered against the orbiter’s wing.
“Dave Hilmers, our CAPCOM [capsule communicator], called up and told us they’d seen something fall away from the vehicle,” recalled Gibson. “It probably was no big deal but we ought to take a look. Luckily, Atlantis had the remote arm in the cargo bay. We used the camera on it to look around.” The bottom of the wing looked like it had taken multiple shotgun blasts, the thermal tiles showing white scrapes and dark, jagged holes. Gibson relayed the images to Houston. Because STS-27 was a military flight, the data were encrypted, the pictures low-resolution.
“The engineers came back and said it didn’t look any worse than they’d seen on previous missions,” said Gibson. “Well, I’d been with the shuttle program from the start…. I knew for a fact there’d been nothing like this before.”
Reentry heat topped 3,000 degrees. The aluminum under the shuttle’s tiles melted at 1,000. But reentry was four days away, and the crew focused on deploying the satellite, trying not to think about the orbiter’s damaged belly glowing white-hot at Mach 25.
“We didn’t know if Houston really thought we were okay,” remembers crew member Mike Mullane, “or if they knew the situation was hopeless and just didn’t want us to panic. But we knew what we’d seen, and Hoot was seriously ticked off that mission control wasn’t listening to him. Things got pretty quiet up there.”
Gibson felt that if something bad was going to happen to Atlantis, Houston was going to know why. If the right wing started to burn up, he said, “the first sign would be a ‘split’ in the elevons as the controls tried to hold attitude against increased drag: If they differed left to right by more than two degrees, I was going to get on the mike and tell Houston exactly what I thought of their assessment. I figured I had 30 seconds. It wouldn’t help us, but it might save a future shuttle crew.”
Reentry began. Gibson kept his eyes on the elevons. The shuttle entered the region of maximum thermal stress. The elevons remained in synch; the wing stayed intact. Gibson brought the orbiter in for an exceptionally smooth touchdown at Edwards.
“When we got out, we saw a bunch of engineers gathered under our wing. They were shaking their heads. The damage was massive. A whole tile was missing where the L-band antenna was mounted. There was a thicker skin panel there, and the metal had partly melted. If we’d lost a tile anywhere else, it would have burned through and we’d be dead.
“We should have developed an on-orbit patch kit right after STS-27, but NASA was playing Russian Roulette, hoping nothing critical would get hit, and it finally caught up with Columbia.”
In January 1992, Gibson commanded a flight of the shuttle Endeavour, the program’s 50th. The landing at the end of the mission was particularly satisfying. “The officially recorded touchdown sink rate was 0.0 feet per second,” Gibson said; “we were almost perfectly asymptotic.” Translation: despite the shuttle’s perverse flight characteristics, Gibson brought Endeavour in for the kind of whisper-soft landing that earns airline pilots applause.
(Continued from page 3)
Gibson showed the same precise touch on his next shuttle mission, in which Atlantis was to dock with the Russian space station, Mir. Gibson was named to command the mission.
Atlantis launched on June 29, 1995. Once in orbit, Gibson began the delicate dance to bring the shuttle closer and closer to Mir.
“We had to make contact at .1 foot per second,” said Gibson. “Much faster and we’d break something. Too slow and the latches wouldn’t capture. I brought Atlantis in at .107.”
The Mir docking mission would be his last shuttle flight. Gibson served as the shuttle program’s deputy director of flight operations for a while, but “I really wanted to get back to flying,” he said, and his wife wanted to move to Murfreesboro, where she’d grown up. Gibson retired from NASA and went to work flying as first officer for Southwest Airlines, a job with a reasonable commute.
Was it an awkward career move, for someone with a flying background as extensive as his?
“A few old captains went out of their way to show that I didn’t impress them. But most couldn’t have been friendlier, and then I got to be an old captain myself.” In 2006, Gibson turned 60, then the age of mandatory retirement for airline pilots.
Since 1984, Gibson has indulged his passion for speed by racing airplanes, a sport NASA had frowned upon as too risky. (The agency grounded him for a year in 1990 for racing. In one race, his airplane and another collided, and the other pilot was killed.) In 2004, Gibson flew his green and yellow Cassutt, an experimental homebuilt designed for aerobatics and pylon racing, at 237.9 mph, beating a 20-year-old record. He also set a world altitude record in it.
The Cassutt is fast, but it’s Riff Raff, a big red and white Hawker Sea Fury that Gibson races at the Reno Air Races, that draws the crowds. At the 2007 races, Gibson clocked a blistering 437 mph—the aircraft’s fastest qualifying time.
Riff Raff ’s owner, retired physical therapist Mike Keenum, has over 10,000 hours of flight time and flies Riff Raff in airshows, but at Reno, he wants Gibson’s hands on the stick and throttle. In races, says Keenum, “the difference between winning and losing, between life and death, is measured in split seconds. You’ve got to be able to think fast, decide fast, and act fast. Hooter does all those things better than anyone I know.”
Our tour was over. The Museum was about to open for business as we walked outside into the windy winter air.
(Continued from page 4)
“When the next generation of commercial rockets for tourists is ready to test fly,” Gibson said, “there’ll be a line of pilots hoping for a seat.” He flashed a confident smile, then added, “I’d kind of like to be at the front of it.” He has already been part of one effort, signing on in 2006 as chief pilot at Benson Space Company, which did not survive the death of its founder, Jim Benson, last year.
Beyond the parking lot, we could see a 737 approach nearby Washington Dulles International Airport. “Someday that’s what leaving for orbit will be like,” said Gibson. “A scheduled flight in a spaceship with wings.” With Hoot Gibson in the cockpit?

Barack Obama
XLIV President of the United States: 2009 - present
Statement on the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture
June 24, 2011
As we mark the anniversary of the United Nations Convention against Torture, I join people around the world in honoring the victims of torture, paying tribute to all those who are courageously working to eradicate these inhuman practices from our world, and reaffirming the commitment of the United States to achieving this important goal.
Generations of Americans have understood that torture is inconsistent with our values. Over two decades ago, President Reagan signed and a bipartisan Senate coalition ratified this landmark document, which affirms the essential principle that under no circumstances is torture ever justified. Torture and abusive treatment violate our most deeply held values, and they do not enhance our national security. They undermine it by serving as a recruiting tool for terrorists and further endangering the lives of American personnel. Furthermore, torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment are ineffective at developing useful, accurate information. As President, I have therefore made it clear that the United States will prohibit torture without exception or equivocation, and I reaffirmed our commitment to the Convention's tenets and our domestic laws.
As a nation that played a leading role in the effort to bring this treaty into force, the United States will remain a leader in the effort to end torture around the world and to address the needs of torture victims. We continue to support the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture and to provide funding for domestic and international programs that provide assistance and counseling for torture victims. We also remain dedicated to supporting the efforts of other nations, as well as international and nongovernmental organizations, to eradicate torture through human rights training for security forces, improving prison and detention conditions, and encouraging the development and enforcement of strong laws that outlaw this abhorrent practice.

I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.
