CMP: Okay. We'11 give you a call on that, Houston.
LMP: Houston, America. Magazine Dog Dog is 40 percent remaining.
LMP: Okay, Bob. Let me have the old Flight Plan changes.
CC: Okay. At page 195, excuse me - time 195:15 - that's page 304.
CC: Okay. It says, "Set HIGH GAIN MANUAL, WIDE" and the new angles will be pitch of minus 5 and yaw of 315. And the time will be 196:30 instead of 21: 30.
CC: Okay. You might also at that point write in "Verify all command module VHF OFF." I'm sure understand mear,s. Ron will what that He's been doing it all along anyway.
CC: Okay, and then over at 195:31 - I24P That Just means you want the VHF off, doesn't it?
CC: Right. All of these, I think - three switches And over there along the side. BEACON, RANGING and -
LMP: I think I understand that. I24P
CC: Okay. I thought even an would understand that. At 195:31, we're going to move "LUNAR SOUNDER OPERATE to OPERATE." The new start time there will be 195:31:38. Over.
LMP: Okay. "LUNAR SOUNDER OPERATE" will be done, new time will be 195:31:38.
CC: Okay. And then next page at 196:20 which was the lunar sounder original stop time, we will move all that block which starts with "LUNAR SOUNDER OPERATE STANDBY and T-stop" - that will all move over - and goes down to "UV ON." _laat block will move over to the 196:30 time of the next column and the T-stop time there will be 296:30.
LMP: Okay. I'm going to move the "LUNA2_ SOUNDER OPERATE/UV ON" block from its present position to 196: 30:00.
CC: Okay, Roger. And the "VERB 22 NOUI 79" that was originally starting at 196:30 will be done follow- ing that block of "LUNAR SOUNDER SIM bay" stuff.
LMP: Okay, Bob. Is there anything else?
CC: Okay, in the middle of that section that we moved, it says "Acquire STDN," says "High gain angles," and those will again be changed to minus 5 and 315 which is the same change we made on the earlier page.
CC: Okay. And that is the extent of the update.
LMP: Okay, thank you. 128/3 Tape

And, then Jack and I are going to start getting out of our suits and trying to clean up a little bit, and that's going to probably be a long and tedious operation but we're Just going to have to take that time.
CC: Okay. We copy that. And, Ron, HF 2 is the one - -
CDR: No, we'11 be - -
CC: - - that we're not quite sure if it's out and you might check a visual on that - I th:ink you've looked at it before - when it's fully ex_ended and - and give us a clue whether it's 9!) percent ex- tended or not. Go ahead, Gene; i think i cut you off.
CDR: Yes. Wait until sunrise, Bob, and he car_ look a_ it.
CC: Roger. Copy that. I just looked down the Flight Plan and saw you going into darkness.
CMP: It's easier with us.
CDR: And, Bob, during this
LMP: and
CDR: suit doffing and CWEG [?] changeout and so forth, the
LMP: will be off biomed until he gets a new set and gets cleaned up and gets them on. So I Just want you to understand all that.
CC: Okay, yes. We understand.
CDR: Bob, what's the LM impact time?
CC: Okay, stand by on that. Okay, 195:57:20. So it's 57:20.
CDR: Okay, that's about an hour and 20, then right?
CDR: Okay. Of course, we're interested in the where- abouts of Challenger, so when the time comes up, give us a holler, will you?
CC: Oh, Roger. We will do.
CDR: We're still very much interested in her perform- ante.
CMP: Okay, that's HF 2. And we'11 go to RETRACT and, let's see - I need three h_uds here - VOX, let me get VOX. Okay. HF 2 going to RETRACT: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1-
CMP: MARK it. Okay, we'11 stay that way for 10 seconds, we've got a barber pole - and -
CMP: Okay, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, -
CMP: Okay, 21 seconds and it was OFF. Hey, you said - somebody Just told me about looking at HF 2. That's the one I can't see.
CC: Okay; we copy that, too, Ron. Tha_lk you.
CC: Okay, Ron, we'd like you to do that same cycle one more time. RETRACT for 10 seconds then EXTEND for 20 seconds again.
CMP: Okay. And HF number 2. 3, 2, i - MARK RETRACT.
CMP: Okay, 9, 10; it's OFF. Okay, 3, 2_. i -
CC: Copy that, Ron. Okay, we think it's starSing to clear up, Ron. If you'11 put it ir EXTEND and leave it there, we'11 give you a cs_ll - or else until it goes gray.
CMP: Okay. 3, 2, 1 -
CC: Okay; OFF, please, Eon.
CMP: Okay, OFF. And it was OFF at a minute and 8 seconds.
CC: Okay, and I gather it was still barber pole, right?
CMP: It was still barber pole, yes.
CC: Okay, America, you're GO for LOS; and we'11 be picking up on the HF path as per the checklist. Ron, we'd like to have you look on the back side - see which or any antennas you can see out there, just to give us a status when you come around the horn. Over.
CMP: I can see the one out window 1. Window 1 is the only one I can see.
CMP: And that happens to be HF number 1.
CMP: Yes - Oh, here's a little - The electrical covers? Oh, they're - each one of them is in your bag here. Yes.
CC: Roger. America, Houston. We read you loud and clear.
CMP: Okay. Houston, this is America. Okay, for your planning purposes there, - i got a little tied up and started Zhe RECEIVE ONLY, TAPE RECORDER at 195 plus 24.
CC: Okay_ I copy that, Ron.
CMP: Okay, Houston. HF number 1 is sti,._kingout where it should stick.
CC: Okay, we copy that and - Stand by. Okay, gc STANDBY on the LUNAR SOUNDER, please, Ron. Some- body is worried down here. STANDBY on the IirNAR SOUNDER.
CMP: Okay, what's - STANDBY. Okay, STANDBY.
CC: Okay, and, Ron. We're going to do this one in VHF. Apparently they're still too worried about antennas. your HF So if you' 11 take your MODE switch to HF when we get ready to g_ - come out of STANDBY, we'11 do it in the VHF MODE.
CMP: Okay. We're - we'11 - we'11 stand by on your call then. Or I'11 go to VHF now, if you want. Or would you rather have HF receive? I'11 stand by on your call to go to VHF.
CC: That's affirm, Ran. You can go to VHF now, and stand by on our call to come from STANDBY to ON.
CC: That's affirm. They're worried about HF 2 not being all the way out, and they thilLk that they won't get much - if it's partially extended. So we'11 see what we can get with VHF instead. And, right now, we're going to STANDBY to warm up the film cassette. It's too cold.
CMP: I don't think i ever told you down there that mag Kilo Kilo was on frame 99 at the end of the ren- dezvous - and the picture-taking sessions there.
CC: Okay; copy that. 128/9 Tape
CC: Okay; and, America, we'd like to bring up the high gains since we're going to be using VHF. And we'd like PITCH of plus 25, YAW of 200, NARROW and REACQ.
CMP: PITCH of plus 25, YAW, 200; and REACQ and NARROW.
CMP: Pitch of plus 25. Okay. Okay.
CC: Okay; and, Ron, we'd like H2 tanks 2 and 3 FANs to ON.
CMP: Okay - 2 - H2 tank 2 is ON; tank 3 is ON. APOLLO 17 AIR-TO-GROUND VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CMP: That's the vacuum transfer to the ECS. I can put those away.
CMP: What? We're just -
CMP: With three guys in here, it fogs the windows up all the time.
CC: Okay, America. Stand by, 5 minutes to Challenger impact.
CC: That's affirm_ I don't know if you guys can see it out the one window or not -
LMP: We'11 do all right. C_L_ Let's see - we should be what? - behind it, aren't we?
CMP: Shouldn't we be behind him?
CC: I should think he'd be a little bit behind you, right? Ron, I'11 take that back, I think he is in front of you.
CMP: That's kind of the way I thought it would be. But, unfortunately, we're looking behind us.
CC: That's affirm. Ands 3 minutes to impact. C_ Okay, 3 minutes to impact.
CMP: Okay, 1 minute. Yes, we're right _ver Vitruvius A, now.
CC: Okay, we had LOS LM. And we don't believe we saw it down here, fellows.
CMP: _at do you mean, yo_ don't beliew_ you saw it?
CC: That means that we didn't see it - on the TV.
CMP: Oh, on the TV, I see - I see.
CC: We are picking up the signal on tke seismo_raph_ though, the geophones.
CC: Okay, go ahead again there, guys. C_ Okay, this is America. I can see a brieht s_et on the top of the South Massif and - let me see - from the west you got the first hill or the first part of the mountains, then there's the valley, and then - there's a valley that k_nd of goes into a Y - it's a Y-looking valley. I _uess, if you come from the east, it's the second ridge from the east, and right on top of that ridye is a bright spot. I don't know how big - I dom't know how big a crater it should make.
CC: Okay, we copy that and we'11 take a look at the maps and see what we can find.
CC: And, Ron, this is Houston. You ready tc copy an update in the Flight Plan, please, for me.
CMP: Okay, do you need iv right now or snouid i mark this on the map first? No, oh, no. Go ahead and mark the map first.
CC: Go ahead, America. This is Houston. C_ Okay, Bob, I don't have a map with South _,_ssif on it. You know with the meridian interval on the thing and it looks like the only thing I can use is in the visual observations book here - landing site 204. And, if you draw a iine - Do you have that one? 0C Okay, I've landing site 204 in front of me. CHP Okay. If you draw a line from Shorty to that Reseau mark that's on the top of the South Massif -
CMP: ._nd then_ extend about a little better than one- eighth of an inch toward Shorty from that Reseau mark. Have you - Yes, somewhere right in there. I'11 look at it again the next time I come over. But, that's a bright saot on the top of the Massif that I hadn't noticed before in any of the obser- vations going by there.
CC: Okay, !'ye got it marked down. We'11 also see if we can find it on some bigger map.
CMP: Okay. You know that bright spot might already be there; but I don't think so. I don't remember seeing it.
CC: Okay, copy that. 0k_y, and, Ron, we'd like vo press on with our Flight Plan update here for you. C_ Okay.
CMP: _en? Now? _ Roger; ncw.
CMP: Okay, 5, 4 - okay, countdown - 3, 2, 1 -
CC: Ron, stop the antenna, please. My mistake.
CC: Okay, Ron, let me read through this one for you. They are anxious to extend that, but they want the DATA SYSTEM, ON_ so they can see i: first. _y don't you go to 196.20 in the Flight Plan? You're probably sitting there looking at it, anyway. And run through that block that's there. It starts at about 196:19. We told Jack to mow_ it but since we're aborting this lunar sounder pass, let's go to 196:20 and carry out the ste_s _'nthere with the following exceptions: Do not turn RECORDER or RADAR to OFF. Okay. And, we want LUNAR SOUND_ left in STANDBY.
CC: Okay, and don't move the HIGH GAIN. The HI©N GAIN has been taken care of already. C_ Ckay, I'11 do that. LUNAR SOUNDER is verified in STANDBY. DATA SYSTEM is coming on. HIGH GAIN [_ already working. SM/AC _ower. Jack, could you turn ON the SERVICE MODULE AC? I'11 get it. Yes. Okay. SERVICE MODULE AC POWER's ON. LUNAR going to STANDBY - -
CC: Okay, and, Ron - -
CMP: - - and we'11 leave the RECORDER, ON, and RA3AR, 0N.
CC: And, Ron, while you're putting those last three on, let's start the HF 2 to EXTE}_. They'd like _o get it before it gets too cold again.
CMP: Okay, HF 2 is going to EXTE.YD - 3, 2,
CC: Okay, we'11 time it for 3 minutes fnr you wh_i¢ you get the iR and so forth.
CC: Okay, copy that. Okay, Ron. We see the talkback. You can go to OFF.
CC: Okay, I guess we'11 try and probably work that in some other time, now that we've got the antennas out. And, we'd like to go HIGH GAIN ANTENNA to AUTO and 2-1/2-degree deadband now that we're not doing the lunar sounder.
CC: Okay, Ron, and did you get the HIGH GAIN in the 2-1/2-degree deadband?
CMP: Affirmative. Yes, I got that.
CC: Okay. We got that and I got a TEI-65 pad, when you get ready for it. C_ Okay, let me pull out the old book.
CC: Okay, and, Ron if you'11 give us the com_uter, we're ready to up-link some loads for you. You'11 leave the jet-on monitor and state vector.
CC: Okay, thank you. CMF Okay, I'm ready to copy the TEI. C_ Got it all dirty. Houston, America, I'm ready to copy the TEI pad.
CC: Okay, America; Houston. I'm ready to read the 'FEI pad if you're ready. It's an SPS/G&N, which is a surprise, I'm sure. And, it says: 36541; plus 0.60, plus 0.81; 216:45:48.23; plus 2754.5, minus 0146.9, minus 0009.0; 179, 103, 359. The rest of the pad is NA. GDC align stars are Sirius and Rigel. I guess they picked some bright ones for you for a change. We have aligmments of 136 - -
CMP: Hey s they're good ones.
CC: - - 160, and 034. Ullage is four jet, 12 seconds, and we're using lift-off REFSM_4AT. OYer.
CMP: 36541- 55, okay?
CC: 65, 65.
CMP: Oh, 65 it is. Okay, now on 47, tbs weight - 365_1; plus 0.60, plus 0.81, 216'45:48.23; plus 2754.5, minus 0146.9, minus 000.0, 179, 103_ 359. Sirius and Rigel, 136, 160, 032. Jet, 12 seconds for ullage. And we use lift-off REFS_iAT, which is what we have right now.
CC: Okay, Ron, and you dropped out there at 2 momentary seconds. One, the DELTA-V Z was minus a 9.0. Ullage was four jets.
CC: Okay, you had a momer,tary dropout when read those two figures.
CC: And, America; Houston. Do you fellows t_ink you have any chance, or would have any chance next time to take a picture of that possiYle impa.rt point - with the handheld Hasselblad - or something?
CMP: Ah, sure can. You bet you. I think the best way to do it is with the 250 lens on the Hasselblad.
CC: Okay. It might be something _zorth getting just in case we don't hit it with the pan camera later on.
CMP: Okay. The RECORDER's staying ON and we'11 turn the - RADAR, OFF?
CC: Roger_ RADARs OFF - RECORDER, ON and the computer is yours.
CMP: Yes, shaved there one time. Haven't shaved today; I'm going to do it later on.
CMP: How about getting the recorder going there?
CMP: How abouv turning the recorder on? - Huh? It's right in here.
CMP: Yes. It's time to eat.
CC: America, Houston. Ron? Over.
CMP: Roger_ go ahead.
CC: Okay, one, while I'm talking to you how about flipping up and turning H 2 TANK 3 FAN_ OFF?
CC: Okay, and then, how about you three guys giving us - giving some consideration the next 2 or 3 min- utes to the following proposal? One, we totally aborted that lunar sounder pass because: One s we couldn't get the HF antenna out; and, two, because the temperature in the film cassette was too iow. Those things are both taken care of now. And they're talking down here about essentially start- ing over at 197 hours, which will be the top of the next page, and pretending tha_ that's 195 hours and running through that 195-hour page, beginning at 197 hours. The only problem with that, of course, is that it runs into your eat perioi and destroys that, _ich essentially means that you're going to get to bed 1 hour later. And I guess what we're saying is_ if you're going to get to oed 1 hour later an_rway, we might go ahead and ask you to do it_ if you're agreeal_le. If you're clean-up- cleaning-up companions there have progressed far enough that you think you're going to get to bed on time and don't want to do it_ then that's an- other story. So, how about chewing it over there and letting us know?
CMP: Hey, Houston; America. Let's press on and pretend like i'm eating between when !'m t_rning the LUNAR SOUi{DER, ON, and OFF - Okay? In other words, let's get the lunar sounde_ pass.
CC: Okay_ well_ you're saying, well -we! _, we don't want you to have to do that iN the middle of your eat period and destroy ._. that, Ron. That's an- other concern we had here.
CMP: Don't worry about that° I - I can throw those switches on and I think the other guys can mix the food and I can eat it at the same -_ime. No pr ob lem.
CC: Okay, we've got that recorded on tape there, Ron. Okay, what we're going to do is essentimlly - -
CMP: Okay (laughter).
CC: - - start at the 195-hour page and we'11 jusv mechanically add 2 hours to everything on that _age and run through it as - on the _a_e. O_ay? _he change that we originally had Jn the Flight Plan, which I read - I don't know vd_ether it was to you or to - Jack, which moved t? e group f'rom 196:20 over to 196:30 - will still mow} over te agalr_, 196:30. So, that will stay as is. Arid, that will be, of course, at 198:30, then. i)o you understand what I'm saying there? Over.
CMP: Yes, I think what you're saying is, we'11 just do the Flight Plan like you - like we're starting at 195.
CMP: - - like we'11 be 2 hours later on the mission timer.
CC: Roger; you might call it miniclock update. CI_[
P: Okay. Sounds good. Lunar sounder operating time will be 197:31:38 then, right?
CMP: And, Houston. These waste water dump and fuel cell purges - that doesnTt foul up the lunar sounder, as I recall. I don't think, does it?
CC: Oh, we can go ahead and do those in parallel, right. C_ Okay, good. That's what I thought.
CC: And, Ron, one other - Did you catch my one - my 32:51 update, there on that start time? C_ Did you say cancel it? I'm sorry.
CC: No, do you copy. I gave you 195:32:51 as the start time, instead of 31:38. Did you copy that? C_ Yes, I copied, I'm sorry. Used to working in VOX all the t_me and I forget to push the button.
CC: Okay, and the other thing we'd like to keep you aware of, if you hadn't noticed it, and that is that this thing, of course, Ron, is originally ... to a 196:30 plus, which means that you're going to be running 198:30 plus, which kind of looks like you're going to be eating at least a half an hour into your sleep period, at the very least. Over.
CMP: Yes, we understand that.
CC: Okay, Ron. We'd like to have H2 TANK 2 FAN, OFF, now please.
CMP: H2 TANK 2 is going OFF. APOLLO 17 AIR-TO-GR0b_D VOICE TRANSCRIPTION
CC: Hello, America. This is Houston. One minute to L_AR SOUNDER, OPERATE -
CDR: Okay, t minute to LUNAR SOUNDER, OPERATE.
CC: Roger, Geno. We're glad to hear you're clean again.
CDR: Well, I'm not really clean but it's a major step in the right direction.
CDR: Okay_ 30 seconds.
CC: Okay, and -
CC: And, _nerica, a question here. Did you get an ISS alarm on the back side just a few minutes ago?
CC: Okay. We lucked out. We'd - Since we'd had the jet monitor program operating and it hadn't been killed, which ham originally been planned to come after the lunar sounder, there was a possibility that we'd get an alarm but looks like we don'_ have it. Good enough.
CMP: '_hat was going to cause that to come on?
CC: The possibility, Ron, was when you were reloading NOb_- 79, getting a smaller dead band - iv depends upon where the vehicle was at that time within vhe old dead bands E_ 523 might have suddenly found you outside the dead band and been unhappy.
CMP: Okay, I'm with you. Thank you.
CC: Okay, looks like we lucked out though.
CDR: Say, [Sob, do you know - -
CDR: Do you know aziy more about the demise ,Df Challenger?
CC: We know that it was within 15 kilometers of where it was supposed to be, Gene. We could not get a visual on it. It was quite obvious that the geo- phone saw it and all that - there's no question aoout that, it's just that, as it turned out at the last minute it was pretty hard to pick out where exactly it was going to be in order to have the TV camera there.
CDR: But everything appeared to function properly, huh, the ALSEP and you - you're pretty happy with it?
CC: Roger. Everything except the TV end, of course, that's just an extra goodie.
CMP: Hey, you bet I'11 take it - i want to try i_.
CC: 0Kay_ let me know when you get a Kiece of paper there, Ron. CM_ Okay, go ahead.
CC: Okay, it's a LM impact TCA and it's _ime is _'p0:35 a_d vhe camera data is CM5, EL, 250, CEX, _/_.6, z/lz_, infinity. _z_d magazine _ao_a Kappa or Kilo Kilo, and you can use up Lo i0 frames on it,. Over. 130/3 Tape
CMP: Okay. I thimk i put Kappa Kappa back, I've got Oscar Oscar on there. How about it if I use that, okay ?
CC: Okay_ that's fine, Ron. And, we'd like to get H2 tanks 2 and 3 FANs back ON.
CDR: Hey, Bob. A quick summary on that rendezvous as far as MM performance was concerned. Handling characteristics were outstanding and pretty much the same as they have always been on LMs in the past. The APS burn- burn went nominal; the residuals on that one were actually quite big, about 744, that's feet per second - and we nulled those out and after that the midcourses were max of 1.3, then a max of 1.6 on the second one. But, after the TPI, we were coming up - up the pike right - over -right - all the way in the line- of-sight rates - actually both out of plsme as well as in plane were - were zero - basically zero for out of plane and, as predicted, on a nominal curve for in plane. And it really ended up to be pretty much a storybook rendezvous.
CC: Okay. You wemt to give me that TPI again or did you already pass that down to ground? I didn't copy the residuals there?
CDR: No s i didn't tell them that. And we didn't get a chance to copy them down because I wanted to get them ail down on tape. It surprised me a_er the APS burn because they were relatively large. They were 7 feet-per-second in X, 4 in Y_ and 4 in Z. ._nd that was, I guess, just short of a 4-second burn somewhere around 4 seconds.
CDR: And one other little thing, we put, i think, two marks, three marks - two or three marks in the AGS - manual marks_ after the last mldcourse, as we'd been doing in the simulator - three marks, and Jack teils me thaz vhe razige rate came right up vo - rlgh_ up to the actual radar-rar_ge rate - right up to i00 fee_ or so.
CC: Okay s copy that°
CC: Okay; stand by. Let me find out. Did you guys get any news this morning?
CDR: No, sir; we _ere busy otherwise.
CC: Okay, well, stand by and let me get hold of the people and see if we can get some news for you.
CC: Okay, Genes we're working on that, it may take us a while to get it. And - but we ought to have it for you before the end of the pass. From my own experience in talking around here, although none of us hung around much to read that stuff today, we don't think anything much did h_ppen in the world today. There is a report th&t something happened in outer space, and the moon vehicle_ we believe, had a lift-off this afternoon_ a rendez- vous_ we'11 try and see if we can _rack down any further news of that. Over.
CDR: Okay, we're pretty much up on that one. Just won- dering, you know, Mr. Truman's been pretty sick and so forth, wondered about some of those things, but no big deal, we can - we can wait.
CC: Okay, we'11 get with you shortly.
CMP: That's affirm. Hydrogen purge, an 02 purge, and, would you believe we forgot to _urn the H 2 p'_ge line HEATER, OFF?
CC: Old EECOM was watching vhe currents there. He had you pinned do_T_. (Laughter) Good.
CC: Okays and, _erica_ i presume you guys a_e sitting there looking at page 195. is that affirm? So I won't bother to tell you all - you all these other things that are going on on that page, presuming that you're not looking at page 197. CM_P Yes_ we're on page 195, yes.
CC: Okay s good enough° C$_P Really it's the hour 195_ you know.
CC: OMNI Bravo_ please_ America.
CC: Okay. Copy 145 to 150 on Oscar Oscar. And if you guys are starting to sort out film mags for the next day, which is called out about 198 hours, it'11 be magazine Kilo Kilo instead of November November in that. So it'11 be Kilo_ Quebec, and Romeo for tomorrow.
CMP: Okay_ Kilo, Quebec_ and Romeo.
CC: Go ahead. L_ A little historical note° Passing over the Hadley Apennines sites from Apollo 15 we notice that at vheir l_aing point, there's the same slightly or distinctly brighter albedo area as there is at Taurus-Littrow site_

In spite of the - As we walked along the surface, and this was true at Hadley also, you stirred up a dancer zone, albedo- wise. When you look at it from o_bit, the area around where the LM landed - it's a distinct bright spot on the surface of a - of a fairly uniform gray albedo piain_ And both sites look just alike.
CC: 0kay_ we copy that.
LMP: In that regard, an;May.
CC: And, America, you might be interested to know that the latest SPAN status report stiS1 lists all the LM ECS par_neters as normal. T_ Beautiful. SPAN's up to their old tricks again_ I see.
CC: I guess it depends upon how you define normal. LMi° Somebody must have spilled coffee on their console.
CDR: Listen, Bob_ the way - the way it _as performing, I wouldn't doubt it.
CC: Okay_ okay; I'm keeping track of you guys here an vhe lunar sounder offtimes. It'11 be just slightly less than 198:30, and I'11 give you some hacks on that as we get down ye it. And we're reaay ye go to H 2 T_NKS 1 and 2 to OFF, and T_rK 3 ye AUTO.

CC: Okay, we copy. You're down as far UV, ON. Now we'd like to have IR COVER, OPEN; and UV COVER, OPEN, also. 2-1/2-degree
CMP: Okay. Standby. Did you want dead band for the night?
CC: Roger. I was just going to say we can also go to VERB 22 for the 2-1/2 degree dead baud.
CC: Okay; and, America, if you have time, I have a few news items to read up to you here.
CC: Okay. Dateline Washington, the United States today threw its support behind the Christmas Peace package proposed by South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu, who accused North Vietnam of using high-pressure tactics in an attempt to impose an incomplete peace settlement. American repre- sentatives at the Paris peace talks, told the Communists it was futile for them to continue clamoring for the signature of the cease-fire agreement drafted in October by Kissinger and De Due Tho. In Kansas City, the condition of former President Harry S. Truman weakened to, quote "very serious" Thursday. His doctor says vital signs are stable, but former President Truman was unable to speak; his lungs were filling with fluids still, and his kidneys have been im- paired. In Mexico City, the International Federa- tion of Airline Pilots, meeting in Mexico City this week, has promised a worldwide stoppage of all transportation industries if the governments do not take action to stop hijackings. In New York, the United States won an apparent victory in the United Nations when the General Assembly voted an approval of a cut in U.S. contributions to the world organization. Vote was 81 to 27, and reduces the U.S. budget assessment from 31.5 percent to 25 percent, starting in 1974. Here at home in Houston, the city council voted to locate the new proposed sports arena in the Greenway Plaza. The vote, however, stipulates that the Mayor find a way to finance it without using city tax funds. Council indicated that if the Mayor can't do this, the city will abandon plans for the 10-million- dollar, 18-thousand-seat facility. On the lighter side, in Jersey City, only one of 51 - that is one of 51 women who took physical exams for the police department, passed.
