The report of the Senior Review panel that reviewed all NASA ``Sun-Earth Connection'' missions, including SOHO, is available on the World-Wide Web in a variety of formats at: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/oss/strategy/SEC_review/index.htm
The review was very positive and the situation looks quite promising. The budget for 1998 seems to be ok. The 1999 budget will not be known before fall next year.
