High Resolution Microwave Survey
The High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS[1]) was a NASA project that was to scan ten million frequencies using radio telescopes.[2] A decade in the making, the objective was to find transmissions from alien intelligences. The primary point of observation for the project was the Arecibo Ionospheric Observatory in Puerto Rico. The project began in October 1992 with SETI researcher Jill Tarter on board.[2] However, one year later, first-term Nevada Senator Richard Bryan was responsible for removing funding for the project.[2][3]

But less than one year after their launch, both searches were suddenly and irrevocably terminated, victims of a new wave of Congressional budget cuts. This time it was Senator Richard Bryan of Nevada who led the charge against governmental expenditures on SETI. "The Great Martian Chase," he said, "may finally come to an end. As of today millions have been spent and we have yet to bag a single little green fellow. Not a single Martian has said take me to your leader, and not a single flying saucer has applied for FAA approval."
