A member of the California Congressional delegation, Congressman Alan Lowenthal, introduced an amendment to the FY14 Defense Appropriations bill 23 JUL increasing the STARBASE appropriation by an additional $5 million.  This amendment was considered and passed!!!

Friends of STARBASE, it is time to contact our Senators once more. We need to reach the Senators that are on the SAC-D and encourage them to match the House final mark.  Our Wyoming Senators are not on the SAC-D but they could contact their Senator buddies who are on the committee. You can see the list of members at the following website: http://www.appropriations.senate.gov/sc-defense.cfm
