TitleLetter from Thomas Gold to Dr Russell C Drew, Office of Science and Technology, The White House, Washington, DC
Date22 December 1966
DescriptionSays that 'The backwash of the ATS-B satellite seems not to have been cleared yet, and NASA seems to be annoyed at having been forced to take an action which was after all obviously unavoidable ... My own impression is that NASA would not have stopped it without Dr Hornig's intervention. The conversations I had were on the lines 'we had a legal allocation and that is all we need' -- a very foolish attitude'.
