Dr. Harrison H. Schmitt, scheduled to become first scientist-astronaut on moon during Apollo 17 mission, addressed 41st annual international meeting of Society of Exploration Geophysicists in Houston, Tex. Dr. Schmitt said lunar exploration "is permanently terminating for this generation and may be for future generations." Chances for collecting data from moon were "decreasing rapidly." In response to questions Dr. Schmitt said mankind's future could depend on scientific understanding of knowledge being gathered during Apollo program. (Atlanta J&C, 11/14/71)
