He said model would bear plaque listing "a few of the many contributions to our space program of Lyndon B. Johnson-as Senate Majority Leader, as Chairman of the Senate Aeronautics and Space Sciences Committee, as Chairman of the National Aeronautics and Space Council when he was Vice President, and then as President of the United States." Dr. Paine told Mrs. Johnson, "We trust that this model of the lunar landing module will signify to the many visitors . . the President's vision and leadership that has carried this nation outward into the new ocean of space."
