Your presence at the State Department July 15, you in-flight conversations with the crews, and your hospitality and personal presentation of medals on August 9 have been an inspiration to the entire ASTP team in government and industry. We are presently proceeding with preparations for a substantive meeting with the Soviets later this year which we hope will enable us to build on the close and effective cooperation achieved in ASTP. I will continue to keep you informed in this and other major areas of the national space program. Thank you again, Mr. President, for your continuing interest and support. Respectfully, [added by "Jim F"] James C. Fletcher Administrator [round stamp reading "GERALD R. FORD LIBRARY"]
