Fuller as I. PURPOSE To speak with Chancellor Kohl to the crew of the Ninth Space Shuttle Mission carrying Spacelab built by the European Space Agency (ESA). II. BACKGROUND The current mission is the ninth flight of the space shuttle. The nine-day flight began on November 28 at the Kennedy Space Center and will conclude on December 7 at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Facility at Edwards Air Force Base (there is some consideration being given to extending the flight by one day). The cargo, a scientific laboratory called Spacelab, was designed and built by the European Space Agency (ESA) for $1 billion. The thirteen country members of ESA gave the spacelab to the United States to use for scientific research making this one of the most important cooperative space/science projects to date. It is noteworthy that West Germany paid over 55% of the cost of building Spacelab. Spacelab facilitates advanced scientific research in space. It gives scientists unparalleled opportunities to initiate and alter experiments as well as to react to scientific opportunities as they develop in space. In the onboard laboratory, more than 70 separate experi- ments are being conducted in five broad categories of research: life sciences, atmospheric physics and earth observations, astronomy and solar physics, space plasma physics, and materials technology. Additional detail on the experiments is as follows: (a) Life Sciences: Fundamental data are sought to shed light on how plants and animals actually evolved on earth; (b) Solar Science: Onboard experiments will help man understand the relationship of the earth and the sun and also issues related to fusion energy sources; (c) Astronomy: Continuous astronomical observations are being conducted in the pure and unobstructed space environment; (d) Earth Sciences: Microwave radar and metric camera equipment will provide improved views of the continents and uncharted areas of the Earth; (e) Atmospheric Science: Experiments will help us understand the causes and effects of our weather and magnetic storms on the sun, (f) Materials Science: Experiments will increase our knowledge of the promising new field of weightless metalur- gical and semi-conductor manufacturing. The first non-American astronaut to fly on an American spacecraft is on board. He is Dr. Ulf Merbold, a West German physicist from the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart. The other crew members are: Commander John W. Young who has flown in space five times and has been to the moon twice (you have met John on a couple of occasions at the White House following the first shuttle flight), Dr. Owen K. Garriott who is an electrical engineer and was on the second Skylab mission, Brewster H. Shaw who is an Air Force major and is on his first mission, Dr. Robert A. Parker who is an astronomer and on his first mission, and Dr. Byron K. Lichtenberg, a biomedical engineer on his first flight. III. PARTICIPANTS Oval Office Broadcast: Chancellor Kohl, John Young (mission commander), Byron Lichtenberg (American Scientist) and Ulf Merbold (German scientist). White House Photographs after broadcast: James Beggs, Administrator, NASA Erik Quistgaard, Director General, European Space Agency Peter Hermes, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany Charles Wick, USIA Ed Meese James Baker Michael Deaver Robert McFarlane Craig Fuller David Gergen Larry Speakes IV. PRESS PLAN Chancellor Kohl will be covered by a television network in Athens, Greece. The broadcast will be transmitted live to six locations through USIA's EURONET. V. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS 9:40 a.m. You should be at your desk in the Oval Office. Your opening and closing comments will be on teleprompter. 9:45 a.m The broadcast is set to begin and follow the following sequence- -Opening remarks by THE PRESIDENT --Remarks by CHANCELLOR KOHL --Introductions and remarks by COLONEL JOHN YOUNG --Remarks and tour by DR. ULF MERBOLD --Remarks and tour by DR. BYRON LICHTENBERG Closing by COLONEL JOHN YOUNG Closing by THE PRESIDENT Closing by CHANCELLOR KOHL --Sign off by THE PRESIDENT The broadcast is scheduled to conclude by 10:00 a.m. Immediately following the broadcast you will be greeted by Jim Beggs, NASA, Dr. Erik Quistgaard, Director General of the European Space Agency and Germany's Ambassador Peter Hermes. Photographs will be taken by the White House photographer. (Rohrabacher) December 3, 1983 12:45 p.m. PRESIDENTIAL PHONE CALL: SATELLITE CONFERENCE CALL TO THE SPACE SHUTTLE MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1983 Greetings from Washington. Chancellor Kohl is with us all the way from Athens, Greece. Along with you astronauts hovering in space, with me here in Washington, and the whole world listening, this is one heck of a conference call. Seriously though, this Space Shuttle mission represents the enormous potential available to mankind. The Spacelab in which the experiments are being carried out was designed and built by the European Space Agency. The Federal Republic of Germany, and other European contributors, can be especially proud of this achievement. It is fitting that on this, the German-American Tricentennial, a German astronaut is part of the Shuttle team. The Shuttle is demonstrating that technology can be used to bring people together in a new spirit of enterprise and cooperation, to better their lives and ensure the peace of mankind. I know Chancellor Kohl agrees with me that this Shuttle mission, with its German and American crew, represents the highest aspirations of our two peoples. Chancellor Kohl, this is a great day. Perhaps you could give us your thoughts on this marvelous occasion. [KOHL] FINAL STATEMENT I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate the entire crew. You're doing a fantastic job and we're proud of you. Your Page 2 energy, creativity, and your courage are an inspiration to us all. It's hard to believe, when looking at the highly sophisticated project we've just witnessed, that it was just over 25 years ago that the United States launched its first satellite, a 31 pound cylinder-shaped projectile named Explorer One. Shortly after that NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was created to make sure mankind got every benefit possible from the exploration of space. Our investment in space has been an exceptional bargain. By-products now touch our lives in so many ways. This phone hook-up, as well as the calls everyday of millions of people around the world are made via communication satellites. Weather and navigation satellites guide us and help us protect our lives and property. The high tech spinoffs of our space effort are too numerous to list. The experiments on this shuttle mission will add to the treasury of human knowledge and be put to practical use, improving our lives right here on Earth. This mission is also a shining example of international cooperation at its best. The Spacelab we've just toured was a gift to the United States from our European friends. Building on that goodwill, this is the first time a citizen from another country has joined one of our space missions as a member of the crew. It is an exciting first. It must be particularly exciting for our German friends. Chancellor Kohl, I just want to tell you that it is such an honor Page 3 for us to be together in demonstrating to the world that when people are free and work together, there is nothing that can't be accomplished. Together the free people of the world, with the use of technology, are building a world of prosperity and peace never imaginable a few decades ago. Chancellor Kohl, perhaps you have some parting thoughts. (AFTER KOHL) Thank you Chancellor Kohl. And thank you to our astronauts. God bless you and Godspeed on you journey home. (Rohrabacher) December 3, 1983 draft PRESIDENTIAL STATEMENT: POSSIBLE QUESTIONS FOR ASTRONAUTS MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1983 1. I understand one of you fixed a complex machine with a wrench the other day. Is this an indication that man can never fully be replaced by a machine? 2. How many experiments are you performing? Is it a heavy work schedule? How do you relax up there? 3. What do you see as the greatest potential for the use of space?
