00400 Dear Hans:
00500
00600 As I told you on the phone, we are trying to organize
00700 a charter flight from the Stanford area to watch the
00800 Apollo 15 launch on July 26, and we would appreciate any
00900 help we can get from NASA.
01000
01100 Specifically, we would like
01200
01300 1. Admission to a good place to see the launch from.
01400
01500 2. A tour of the Cape Kennedy facility.
01600
01700 3. Some speakers to tell us about NASA activities and plans.
01800 It would be most interesting if we could get Dr. von Braun and
01900 possibly an astronaut.
02000
02100 In order to get the reduced costs of a charter flight,
02200 we shall have to recruit a group of about 100. The audience
02300 will be technically oriented, probably fairly well informed,
02400 and presumably enthusiastic about manned space flight.
02500 There will be lots of questions.
02600
02700 I will be grateful for any help you can give us and
02800 also for advice about how to plan a good program. It would
02900 help with publicity to know about speakers early.
03000
03100 Sincerely yours,
03200
