Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Chairman of the National Aeronautics and Space Council, said in remarks taped for the NBC-TV program, "The Sunday Show," that the U.S. would extend its national strength into the space dimension, "We expect to explore the moon, not just to photograph it or visit it," he said. "We plan to explore and chart the planets as well. We shall expand our earth laboratories into space laboratories." Mr. Humphrey praised the Nation's space effort, saying that such activities had encouraged economic development, stimulated new products and processes, and furthered the cause of peace. This was Mr. Humphrey's first public statement on the space program as Vice President. (NBC-TV)
