Dear Hans:

	As I told you on the phone, we are trying to organize
a charter flight from the Stanford area to watch the
Apollo 15 launch on July 26, and we would appreciate any
help we can get from NASA.

	Specifically, we would like

	1. Admission to a good place to see the launch from.

	2. A tour of the Cape Kennedy facility.

	3. Some speakers to tell us about NASA activities and plans.
It would be most interesting if we could get Dr. von Braun and
possibly an astronaut.

	In order to get the reduced costs of a charter flight,
we shall have to recruit a group of about 100.  The audience
will be technically oriented, probably fairly well informed, 
and presumably enthusiastic about manned space flight.
There will be lots of questions.

	I will be grateful for any help you can give us and
also for advice about how to plan a good program.    It would
help with publicity to know about speakers early.

					Sincerely yours,


					John McCarthy
