These photographs represent a very great\nextension in our knowledge of the Moon, The detail of our per-\nception has improved more in this one step than in the three\ncenturies of evolution of the earth-bound telescope. Having\ndedicated their efforts to the exploration of outer space for\npeaceful purposes, the people of the United States hope that\nthis knowledge -- and what is learned in the continuing explo-\nrations of the future -- will work to the ultimate benefit of\nmankind in all lands.\nIt is, therefore, an honor and a privilege to present to you\nand your people on behalf of the people of the United States\nthis special set of photographs of the Moon taken on the his-\ntorão flight of the Ranger VII. These photographs symbolize\nthe continuing desire of the United States that the benefite of\nthis age of scientific discovery may be shared among all\nnations and all peoples for the cause of peace and human\nprogress.\nSincerely,\nLyndon B. Johnson\nHis Excellency\nGamal Abdel Nasser\nPresident of the United Arab Republic\nCairo"
