 Subject:       Support for Norstar Satellite Pfi%@@%figgfifijgfifig

 Dear Mr. Norris:

 Thank you for taking the time recently to brief the Spaceport
 Florida Authority on the Norstar program and its great potential
 for commercial Ka band communications and technology development.
 As   the   agency    responsible   for   space—related    economic,
 technological, and educational development, the Spaceport Authority
 is very supportive of your efforts.

 Norstar‘s operational feasibility will be greatly enhanced by
 NASA‘s Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) Ka band
 applied demonstration research, and will be further supported by
 the State of Florida‘s technology transfer agreement with NASA. In
 addition, we are sponsoring an initiative to establish a Florida
 Center for the Commercial Development of Space (CCDS) dedicated to
 commercial telecommunications technology whichwill target programs
 such as yours for joint NASA/industry/university support.

 The Spaceport Florida Authority is authorized to issue municipal
 revenue bonds to finance space—related projects,                                  including space
 flight hardware and payloads.  We anticipate that Norstar will be
 eligible for such bonds and will explore State—assisted financing
 for the project.

 We encourage Norstar‘s participation in our proposed CCDS, and we
 look forward to commencing in—depth discussions regarding your
 financial requirements as soon as possible after the project
 receives FCC licensing.

                                                     Sincerely,



                                                     Edward A.
                                                                               /Z
                                                                          O‘Connor,              Jr.
                                                     Executive Director
