                of the Columbia Investigation Accident Board, talks to U.S.

                Gehman and the board visited the Hangar as part of the ongoing
                investigation. Recovery efforts as of May 5 included 82,500
                pieces of debris weighing 84,800 pounds, almost 40 percent of the
                total dry weight of the shuttle. About 25,000 personnel took
                part, utilizing almost 1.5 million total man-hours in the
                recovery effort and involving more than 130 federal, state and
                local agencies. The operation was also supported by more than 270
                organizations that included businesses and volunteer groups.
