ESRO Council meeting in Paris agreed on future program based on applications satellites. Priority would be given to use of ELDO launch vehicles provided ELDO's price did not exceed that of launch vehicles available elsewhere. ESRO budget would be equivalent of $283.6 million from 1972 to 1974 and $300 million for following three years. From 1974 to 1980 at least $70 million would be spent on construction of applications satellites. (AP, NYT, 12/12/71, 9)
