President Nixon signed Proclamation 4303 declaring the week of 16-24 July United States Space Week. In signing, President Nixon said: "Just five years ago, two Americans thrilled the world when they took man's first steps on the moon. . . . In that single journey five years ago, man's knowledge of our universe, diligently gathered over the centuries, resulted in a spectacular leap from the earth. . . In time man may take for granted such wonders as we cannot imagine. . . . But we know that a beginning has been made that will affect the course of human life forever." (PD, 22 July 74, 805)
