They claim that the institution — Discovery's home for the past 13 years — improperly used appropriated funds to influence Congress with regards to relocating the winged orbiter.[/i]</blockquote> <center><a href="https://www.collectspace.com/news/news-102225a-space-shuttle-discovery-smithsonian-doj-anti-lobbying-letter.html" target="AirLock"><img src="https://www.collectspace.com/images/news-102225a-lg.jpg" width="400" height="225" border="0"></a></center>[/B][/QUOTE]
