Dear Congressment
The President has received your letter of October 28, and
has asked me to reply to your inquiry about the Administration's
current position on the entire space program in view of the
recent speculation about the future of the Soviet Union's program.
This question was raised at the Presidential press conference
subsequent to your letter, and the President in his reply made
every effort to clarify the Administration's position. He made
clear the Administration's unchanged support for the program,
and his conviction that we should adhere to our carefully
worked-out program, regardless of what the Soviet Union may
do, or says it may do.
The President has asked me to express his appreciation for
your continuing intdrest and support as Chairman of the Space
Sciences and Advanced Research and Technology Subcommittee,
and also for the support of the other members of your Sub-
committee. It is an example of the kind of Executive-Legislative
rblationship that is very much in the public interest.
Sincerely yours,
Lawrence F. O'Brien
Special Assistant
to the President
Honorable Joseph E. Karth
