SHARE CAPTION ONLY: SCALED-BACK VERSION OF SPACE STATION PROPOSED

An artist's drawing depicts the NASA space station design that President Clinton is pushing before Congress. Opponents have promised to kill the space station when it comes up for a key House vote next week. But NASA officials maintain the redesign still would be $8 billion cheaper than building Space Station Freedom. Clinton will ask Congress to appropriate $2.1 billion for the station next fiscal year.
