 | | To prevent the demolition of Comsat, the county's historic preservation commission, armed with documentation prepared by two scholars at the University of Maryland, has proposed that the modern building be designated as part of the county's master plan for historic preservation. |
 | | In 1965, Comsat's first satellite, Early Bird, was launched from Cape Canaveral to facilitate international telephone and television transmissions. |
 | | Comsat deserves landmark protection not only to preserve its masterful architecture, but also to commemorate its contributions to advancing communications throughout the world. |
