TLS signed “L.B.J.,” one page, 7 x 9.75, personal letterhead, January 22, 1973. Letter to Edward C. Welsh, former executive secretary of the National Aeronautics and Space Council, in full: "Few restrictions on my time have troubled me more than those which prevent my being present at the National Space Club's salute to Apollo. Through this message, however, I would like to commend all those space pioneers who have made the Apollo miracle a living reality. It has been more—so much more—than an amazing adventure into the unexplored and the unknown. The Apollo program has been and will endure as a monument to many things—to the personal courage of some of the finest men our nation has produced—to the technological and managerial capability, which is the genius of our system—and to a successful cooperation among nations which has proved to us all what can be done when we work together with our eyes on a glorious goal. I rate Apollo as one of the real wonders of the world. And I am proud that my country, through the exercise of great ability and daring leadership, has given it as a legacy to mankind." In fine condition, with a faint block of toning from prior display.
