Page 3 - I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth.
Page 8 - ... is needed to sow the seeds for the harvest of future applications of space knowledge and technology. The weather, communications, and navigational satellites of today grew out of the scientific engineering and research of the past decades. Their perfection, and the development of new applications, will rest upon the space science and engineering of today and the years to come.
Page 37 - GEMINI project management. — NASA will continue to manage the GEMINI project. It is, however, agreed that the DOD will participate in the development, pilot training, preflight checkout, launch operations, and flight operations of the GEMINI program to assist NASA and to meet the DOD objectives.
Page 8 - In the current year we plan to carry forward all of the activities I have just described. By the end of this year much of the preliminary testing required in our program should have been accomplished and we should be well underway in the program designed to achieve not only a manned lunar landing in this decade, but also preeminence in manned space flight for this Nation.

Page 19 - Acquisition, is responsible for this very important area. Every space flight mission, whether rocket development, scientific satellite, space probe, or manned spacecraft, is undertaken to gather information. The critical element in getting such information back to the managers of the missions is the worldwide network of tracking and data acquisition stations. Our work in this area is important also in our relations with other nations because many of these tracking stations are manned by the nationals...
