OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR AUG 14 1975 The President The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: R This letter is to thank you for your personal interest in and support of the now successfully concluded Apollo- Soyuz Test Project. Your presence at the State Depart- ment July 15, your 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 con- tinue 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, James Administrator C. Fletcher 2000 a FOMD
