這位仲裁員名為理查德·卡舍在回應(yīng)NFL選手提起的不平時表示，該計劃違背了選手簽訂的合同。
The Commissioner Pete Rozelle had announced the drug testing proposal in July.
理事皮特·羅澤爾7月份曾宣布要進行藥物測試的提議。
It called for two surprise tests during the football season,

but Casher said rozelle lacks the power to implement the plan without going through the collective bargaining process.
但卡舍表示，羅澤爾沒有權(quán)力實行這樣的計劃，必須先要通過集體談判的流程才行。

NASA engineer John Thomas says the rocket testing program is progressing just about on schedule.
美國宇航局工程師約翰·托馬斯表示，火箭測試程序正在處理一項計劃。
He says redesign booster rockets should be available for a space shuttle launch in February 1988.
他說，重新設(shè)計的助推器在1988年2月的航天飛機發(fā)射中應(yīng)該能用到。

工程師模擬了導致1月份事故發(fā)生的問題。
They've also started testing the remodeled components.
他們也已經(jīng)開始測試經(jīng)過改造的組件了。
Thomas admitted that testing could take longer if NASA follows the advice of independent engineers at the National Research Council.
托馬斯承認，如果美國宇航局聽從了國家研究委員會獨立工程師的建議的話，那測試花費的時間會更長。
Those engineers suggested additional tests beyond what NASA has planned.
這些工程師建議在美國宇航局的計劃之外進行其他的測試項。
But Thomas said NASA might run some of those tests after the first shuttle flight.
但托馬斯表示，美國宇航局可能在第一次往返飛行后就進行這些測試。
For example, NASA might delay tests for unusually hot or cold launch conditions.
比如，美國宇航局可能會因為極高溫或者極低溫的環(huán)境而推遲測試。
He said NASA would just make sure the weather was mild at lift-off until those tests were completed.
他表示，美國宇航局只需要確保離地升空的時候天氣狀況良好并且持續(xù)到測試結(jié)束即可。
