Byrd Green Bank Telescope should be defunded over a five year period. Further information on this divestiture can be found on the AUI webpage and at www.savethegbt.org.

Famous quotes containing the word threatened:
“[He] didn’t dare to, because his father had a weak heart and habitually threatened to drop dead if anybody hurt his feelings. You may have noticed that people with weak hearts are the tyrants of English married life.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
