The U.S. Postal Service issued a stamp commemorating the Skylab program on the first anniversary of the launching of the Skylab 1 Orbital Workshop. The yellow, red, blue, and black stamp depicted the Work-shop and Astronauts Charles Conrad, Jr., and Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin as they worked in space to repair the spacecraft, which had been damaged during launch. (Tower, NYT, 28 April 1974, 30)

President Nixon announced his intention to nominate Gen. George S. Brown, Air Force Chief of Staff, as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff succeeding Adm. Thomas H. Moorer, who was retiring. The Presi-dent would nominate Gen. David C. Jones to replace Gen. Brown as Air Force Chief of Staff. The nominations were submitted to the Senate 15 May. (PD, 20 May 74, 527, 529)
