"We of course take satisfaction in having your representatives with us regularly, in permanent session, but it is especially good, today, to have in Washington the Military Committee itself."

"The chairmanship of the National Aeronautics Space Council will materially enhance his opportunity and capability to render maximum service."

"I believe that the Vice President can contribute importantly to, and give me valuable counsel and assistance with respect to, space programs."

"I contemplate making the Council an active and useful instrumentality."
