Whereas the full strength of America's political, industrial, and

the astronauts who test the hardware and who fly the missions into 
the hostile environment of space; and 
Whereas the L nited States in its moments of triumph over the success 
of its space exploration must not forget those brave astronauts who 
have given their lives in the fullest measure of man's dedication to 
space exploration: Now, therefore, be it
