Policies and background information for the Original Legacy program

The Chair of the Legacy Science Time Allocation Committee, in formally recommending the projects to the SSC Director, offered this statement:
"Taken together, the projects we recommend represent an exciting use of NASA's next major astrophysical observatory. Each of the projects will yield the superb science that we expect of a major investment of time in a NASA Great Observatory. A hallmark of each of these projects is that they fully exploit the unique and special capabilities of Spitzer that make it a major NASA mission and the highest priority space project of the 1991 National Academy of Sciences Decade Review."
