Ther was an article in last week's or this week's Science which
said that the Eurpoean Space Agency (ESA) was planning to orbit
its own set of satellites, similar to NAVSTAR (I believe it was
called "NAVSAT"), which would provide the same accuracy, unencrypted,
that NAVSTAR provides to military users.  If this is true, it may
not matter what the U. S. government feels about O'Neill's plan.

(Sorry, I don't have the issue handy so I can't supply more details).
