Mereier, It was a pleasure for me to have you for lunch on 15 September and to talk to you a little on the sublet of World Philosophical Year 1976. •. ;. . ' ' . . X have read the papers that you left with my Chef de Cabinet, Ijr. C*V« Jtarasiiahan, very carefully. So regard to the questions you have aefeed, I would like to reply as follows: Before considering the <|ueati0n of accepting a position as one of the Patron© of the World Philosophical tear, I would like to know a little more about the background aad aim's of the movement. Ky office will fc$ep ia tousfe with you fbr this purpose. As for collaboration with the 3totiirnational University, I believe the idea is premature at the present tint©, as the subject is still under the consideration of the Ifelt^d Wat tone General Assembly. I have no objection to your prdpes&l that FISP should assume responsibility for the realisation of the project of a World Philosophieal Year* ••••• •.'•••• • •"• &$, for BQT recomaendijag this proposal to tlhesco, I feel it would be better if you were to approach the Director-General of tJnesco direct. I understand that wy Chef de Cabinet has gives you the same advice. 1 alsfo see ao reason why you, as the present Secretary-General of FISP, should not assume a eentral role of co-ordination and administration in case this project should aaterialiSse.

MEMORANDUM

by the Secretary General of FISP addressed to

THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS

and

THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF UNESCO

Everyone, who' has to deal not only whith specialized groups and/or with highly sophisticated representatives of, but with any individuals within, the population of the world, especially with the rising generation, is aware of the fact, that they will not be contented by the mere comforts of modern technology, but -long after more spiritual food, the quintessence of which is: PHILOSOPHY, whatever name it may be given otherwise. For, the greatest ideal encompassing all others i£»of course: t : How can men become wiser? <& i • The

be a success. The name is less important than the thing itself: to get every human being susceptible of becoming aware of it that philosophy, the "love of wisdom", is not just a main component of, but the(total expression Of his dignity. This, we believe, should help humanity - if not immediately - yet by and by tc find the ways for a peace which is so badly needed in a much disturbed world.

It would certainly hgnour the International Federation of Philosophical Societies if an enterprise like this undertaken under its leadership should succeed in achieving any progress in the promotion of a world-wide understanding like that.

Immediately,-two objections arise: (i] We have had enough of "Years", (ii) Philosophers are known to disagree about pretty everything.

An answer to (i] is: Without symbols and mile-stones on their ways, people ( engaged in great tasks are apt to lose the right direction and to forget i that such tasks much end into achievements. The aforegoing task need not be called a Year; however a climax is required, and a period of time of, say, 6 to 8 years from now seems a reasonable one for the people involved to complete efficient collaboration and for the aims in view to ripen.

An answer to (ii) is easy: Only superficially do philosophers disagree, T but fundamentally, they all search precisely that same kind of spiritual food which is the complement of physical food and which is natural for mankind.

Philosophy appears to be the only encompassing activity finally capable of transcending barriers of political and other kinds, for its sole criterium is the authenticity of its search against forgery and illusio'n, by specific means based on science, the arts, ethics and the religions.

. V Therefore, the objections cannot be maintained and once the idea has been launched, the question is: How t'o put the problem correctly, and then to solve it by action. , . • ' \ * 'Now,, since, the word Truth vividly suggests the nature of the .ideal in view,. a provisional title for the enterprise has been forged: • • ' - 3 -

TRUTH AND ACTION which appears to cover well' enough all that is comprehended under wisdom East and West, North and South and in old days liKe in modern times;.

The Secretary General of FISP has received instructions as to investigate the possibilities of its realization towards 1978.

After consultations among leading philosophers, Government Authorities, personalities of rank etc., which have revealed an astonishing consensus Of approval on the principle, a document dated 1st. March 1971 has been circulated jji order to gather a Sufficiently broad reaction to decide whether to pursue the enterprise or to drop it.

Encouraged especially by the decision of the highest authorities of his own country to assist him in international contacts towards a better con- centration of efforts and backed by the assistance of experienced persons, e.g. the former Indian ambassador to the United Nations, who has been associated to the discussions at a very early stage, the Secretary General of FISP has decided, on behalf, of FISP and its President, to approach the UNITED NATIONS through their Secretary General and UNESCO through its Director General.

The present 'document is intended to call their attention to the problem and to'beg them not to discard the proposal without due consideration in consultation with the representative of FISP who has devoted much time to the estimation of its possible realization.

His Excellency U Thant Secretary General The United Nat ions New York, NY 10017

Dear Mr. Secretary General:

The highlight of our trip to New York was the opportunity to visit the United Nations and to meet with you. We welcomed the opportunity to tell you and the other UN delegates about the Apollo 15 mission to the moon. We felt greatly honored to receive the Peace Medal and treasured the discussions with UN ambassadors from the many countries on our good earth.

The most memorable occasion for the three of us were your remarks following our presentation. We join you in your aspirations that man will live in peace and that the pathway to the stars may provide a path for common understanding between all men. We wish to thank you for giving us a day that will live forever in our memories.

Very sincerely,

Dear Mr. Ambassador:

We would like to express our appreciation for your hospitality and. thought- fulness during our visit to New York and the United Nations. Our first evening on the town after our return from Hadley was very relaxed and. most enjoyable.

The afternoon at the United Nations was most meaningful to all of us, par- ticularly the Peace Medal and the remarks by the Secretary General. Because of their significance, we have asked NASA to place the medals on display with a transcript of U Thant's remarks at NASA Head.quarters, Kennedy Space Center, and here in Houston. The ideals expressed, by the med.al and. the Secretary General should, be shared by as many people as possible.

If you and. Barbara ever get a chance to return to Texas please let us know as we would, like to return some of the good Texas hospitality we received, in New York.

Respectfully,

Note.to. Correspondent s;

Following is a transcript of the remarks made by the Permanent Representa- tive of the United States to the United Nations, George H. Bush;, one of the three astronauts of Apollo 15. Col. David R, Scott; and the Secretary-General, U Thant, during the visit of the three astronauts — Col, Scott, Lieut, Col. James B» Irwin, and Major Alfred M, Warden — to United-Nations Headquarters on 24 August:

Mr^BUSH (United States): Ladies and gentlemen, let me say what a great pleasure it is, as the United States Representative to the United Nations, to have with us the distinguished astronauts. First, may I pay my respects to our Secretary-General and thank -him for the courtesy that he has shown these fine men and "also thank him in advance for the hospitality which he will provide later on to them in person. Now it is my great pleasure to introduce these gentlemen to you. Before doing so, I should like to introduce their wives and ask them to stand up: Mrs, Scott and Mrs, Irwin. We asked them to get into the lunar rover and they said something about lady drivers, so we did not go on with that. Without further ado, let me simply say thai; it is a great honour for me as Representative of the United States Government to the United Nations to present these men and let them share with you some of their experiences on the moon. Our President, President Nixon, has repeatedly said that the space effort must "be international, that the space effort is not simply a voyage to the moon or around the earth in any sense, but is much more than that; and out of the space effort will come tremendous benefits for mankind. As I look around this room and I see our colleagues — many of my ambassadorial colleagues, who have worked so much longer than I have here in this Chamber for peace — I know that all of them share our view of the -space programme when it is put into this international dimension. Now it is a great pleasure for me to introduce to you Colonel , the Commander of this most recent and most successful lunar voyage, (more) - 2 ~ Note No. 3683 25 August 19T1

Colonel^SCOTT; As we prepared to take our trip to the moon and explore the wonders of Hadley, it "became apparent to us that many, many people in this world have contributed to the efforts of the space programme and the exploration of the vastness of space. The more we learned about our job, the more we realized that in some manner we should recognize those who had gone before us and contributed so much. As we thought about this,.we also realized that men can contribute many, many things — their time, their efforts, their mindsj some men contribute more than othersj some men have contributed their lives. And we felt that it would be appropriate during our mission to recognize those astronauts and cosmonauts who had so willingly contributed all they had in the exploration of space. So, Mr. Secretary-General, we would ask you to be good enough to come and join us. ¥e have a replica of a memorial which we emplaced at the Hadley Apennine on the moon to pay a tribute to those astronauts and cosmonauts who have given their lives for the benefit of mankind. Mr. Secretary-General, we would like to present to the United Nations this replica, in the hope that it will be a symbol to all mankind of the efforts of all men in furthering our knowledge of the universe and of ourselves. In the slide that is now being projected, you will see that on the surface, some twenty feet north of the lunar roving vehicle, on the plane at Hadley, are a plaque and a small figure which represent, as we feel, the men who have contributed their lives to the exploration of space.

The SECRETARY-GEMEBAL: Distinguished astronauts, Ambassador Bush, Mr. President of the Security Council, Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen; On behalf of the United Nations, it is my privilege not only to welcome and greet the most distinguished astronauts who have graced the Headquarters of the United nations with their presence, but also to thank them for this / presentation of the replica of the plaque which they emplaced on the lunar surface, in commemoration of those astronauts and cosmonauts who have given their lives in the performance of their historic functions. This presence and this presentation represent a symbol — a very significant symbol -- for all of us at the United Nations because of the identity of interest and the identity of

(more) - 3 - Note Wo. 3683 25 August 19T1 purpose and the identity of ideals* You, distinguished astronauts, have commemorated the fallen astronauts and cosmonauts for their very valiant search to discover outer space, for the enrichment of all mankind. Earth — our little planet earth — as you saw it from the moon, is also very symbolic of the aspirations of all of us at the United Nations* You saw our planet earth from the moon as an indivisible entity, a small planet orbiting in space, without boundaries, without frontiers, without any indication whatso- ever of which part is rich and which part is poor, which part is black and which part is white, and which part is yellow. This is a correct vision of this small planet. This is in strict conformity with the Charter of the United Nations. Distinguished astronauts: you have got the correct perspective of this little globe, our little planet earth, which we are trying to fashion in the way we like according to the Charter, to achieve great harmony. You have led the way. Therefore, your presence at the United Nations today has a very special significance for all of us who are striving to achieve the objectives set forth by the founding fathers twenty-six years ago: to achieve harmony, to achieve synthesis, with the realization that this little planet is indivisible on the basis of colour, creed or religion, I want to take this opportunity of also thanking Ambassador Bush and his capable staff at the United States Mission for having made this visit possible and for having made this afternoon both instructive and educational. Distinguished astronauts, I wish all of you continued success in your search for more positive knowledge for the betterment of all mankind. 19 August 1971

10 The meeting was chaired, by Mr. H.A. Trimble, Chief, Security and Safety Section, with representatives of OPI and Security in attendance. 2, The astronauts will arrive in New York Monday night, 23 August 1971 and will be staying at the Ste Regis Hotel. The morning and early afternoon of August 2Uth will be devoted to city functions. Some of the highlights are their appearance on the "Today Show", a motorcade through the city terminating at City Hall, an official welcome and a luncheon. 3. The astronauts, accompanied by their wives, will arrive at the United Nations at 3:15 p.m. The number of cars 'in the motorcade is unknown, but about three vehicles will be allowed in the kjth Street gate. These cars will contain the three astronauts (and probably Mayor Lindsay), the wives and NASA officials. The official party will proceed up the esplanade to the Public Plaza (near the checkroom) where they will be met by the Secretary-General. The party will then move to an area on the north side of the plaza, where there will be a replica of the original "moon buggy"c The replica, however, will have no motor. Pictures will be taken here of the astronauts and the Secretary-General (perhaps with the astronauts and/or the Secretary-General

in the "moon buggy-OOrf " )» . ' 40 It must be stressed that there cannot be too much time spent at the "moon buggy" for picture-taking, as the astronauts are on a very tight schedule.

•4 5« The Secretary-General will then escort the astronauts and official party across the Public Plaza, through the North Public General Assembly doors, through the Exposition Hall to the General Assembly elevators in the Delegates' Lobby and down to Conference Room 4. 6« Conference Roqm k will be full of people - the invitation list is controlled by the United States Mission. There will be a film showing here - moon pictures taken by the astro nauts» This is the first time the film will - be shown and it will be very rough and have no sound track. Astronauts will give a brief introduction to the film and, in the absence of a sound track, will probably narrate it. 7. No pictures will be allowed during the showing of the film. The number of press to be allowed in the room will be worked out by the U.S. Mission. The maximum number of people will be seated on the floor and in the public and press galleries. The film will last approximately 20 minutes „ 8. When the film is over, the Secretary-General will accompany the astronauts out of Conference Room kf back into the G.A. elevators to the second floor. They will walk down the neck to the Conference Building and along the corridor to the elevators. (The area will be taped off for staff members to observe them.) They will then take the elevators to the 38th floor where the Secretary-General is holding a reception. The invitation list will probably include members of the Security Council, Chairman of the Outer Space Committee, the Under-Secretaries-General, Assistant Secretaries-General, etc, - 2 -

9« At the reception, the Secretary-General is going to make a presentation to the astronauts. The presentation will include the United Nations Peace Medal (the first time it has been presented) and an album of stamps. The astronauts, in turn, will make a presentation to the Secretary- General „

100 The official party must leave the United Nations by ^:50 p.m. They will come straight down to the Secretariat Entrance, where they will get into the cars directly outside that entrance, out 42nd Street, turn right and proceed to the United States Mission, where staff .of the U.S. Mission will be outside standing on the steps„ The motorcade will stop, the astronauts will stand up and say a few words to the U.S. staff and they will proceed on. 11. It must be stressed again that they are on a very, very tight schedule and there will be no interviewing by the press at any point, nor will the astronauts make any statement to the press. 12. Security will arrange to put barricades up on the Public Plaza and will arrange an area for the press. There will be a corridor made for freedom of movement, as the Public Plaza will not be closed to the public, as it has in the past. 13. The other areas for press coverage are in Conference Room k and the 38th floor for the presentation ceremony, in the normal manner. Numbers on the 38th floor must be kept to a minimum because of physical limitations. Ik. Any platforms on the Public Plaza for photographers will have to be arranged with Mr. Jaran, • 15. Mr. A. Reynolds Smith of the U.S. Mission is the official to be contacted regarding arrangements for the actual film projection,, 16. The number in the official party is not known, but there will be approximately 10 from the U.S0 Mission and NASA, and possibly Mayor Lindsay. . 17. There will be the normal press area set-up in the Secretariat Lobby for the departure of the astronauts at- 4:50 p.m. and the gates will be up, as usual. Again, there will be no interviewing and the astronauts will not make a statement. l8<, An Information Circular will be put out to inform the staff members of the astronauts' visit, 19« Wet Weather Programme - The only change to be made in the case of wet weather is that the astronauts..will drive right up to the North Public General Assembly Building doors and into the G.A., Lobby, where the "moon buggy" will be located and where the brief picture-taking ceremony will be held,, 20. There will be no basic change in this programme. Minor modifications might be made but this is the outline of the programme« - 3 -

21. On Friday, 20 August 1971, at 10:30 a.m., there will be a meeting on the Public Plaza to discuss the visit and walk the route to be taken by the astronauts during the visit.

-more- EXPERIENCE: Scott graduated fifth in a class of 633 at West Point and subsequently chose an Air Force career. He completed pilot training at Webb Air Force Base, Texas, in 1955 and then reported for gunnery training at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, and Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. He was assigned to the 32nd Tactical Fighter Squadron at Soesterberg (RNAF), , from April 1956 to July 1960. Upon completing this tour of duty, he returned to the United States for study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he completed work on his Master's degree. His thesis at MIT concerned interplanetary navigation. After completing his studies at MIT in O'une 1962, he attended the Air Force Experiment! Test Pilot School and then the Aerospace Research Pilot School.

He has logged more than 4,721 hours flying time—4,011 hours in jet aircraft and 188 hours in helicopters.

CURRENT ASSIGNMENT? Colonel Scott was one of the third group of astronauts named by NASA in October 1963. On March 16, 1966, he and command pilot Neil Armstrong were launched into space on the Gemini 8 mission---a flight originally scheduled to last three days but terminated early due to a malfunctioning CAMS thruster. The crew performed the first successful docking of two vehicles in space and demonstrated great piloting skill in over- coming the thruster problem and bringing the spacecraft to a safe landing. He served as command module pilot for Apollo 9, March 3-13, 1969. This was the third manned flight in the Apollo series and the second to be launched by a Saturn V. The ten-day flight encompassed completion of the first com- prehensive Earth-orbital qualification and verification tests of a "fully configured Apollo spacecraft" and pro- vided vital information previously not available on the operational performance, stability and reliability of lunar module propulsion and life support systems. Following a Saturn V launch into a near circular 102.3 x 103.9 nautical mile orbit, Apollo 9 successfully accomplished command/service module separation, trans- position and docking maneuvers with the S-IVB-housed lunar module„ The crew then separated their docked spacecraft from the S-IVB third stage and commenced an intensive five days of checkout operations with the lunar module, followed by five days of command/service module Earth orbital operations.

Highlight of this evaluation was completion of a critical lunar-orbit rendezvous simulation and sub- sequent docking, initiated by James McDivitt and Russell Schweickart from within the lunar module at a separation distance which exceeded 100 miles from the command/service module piloted by Scott. The crew also demonstrated and confirmed the operational feasibility of crew transfer and extravehicular activity techniques and equipment, with Schweickart completing a 46-minute EVA outside the lunar module. During this period/ Dave Scott completed a stand-up EVA in the open command module hatch photographing Schweickart's activities and also retrieving thermal samples from the command module exterior. Apollo 9 splashed down less than four miles from the helicopter carrier USS GUADALCANAL. With the completion of this flight, Scott has logged 251 hours and 42 minutes in space. He served as backup spacecraft commander for the Apollo 12 flight and was assigned as spacecraft commander for : Apollo 15 on March 26, 1970.

When I left your office a few minutes ago and looked at my watch, I was embarrassed. It was nearly 3 o'clock. I apologize for staying so long, but because of the interest to me of our conversation and the satisfaction of being with you, I just completely forgot the time factor.

It is so thoughtful of you to suggest a meeting of our two immediate families sometime during the fall. It would give us utmost pleasure and satisfaction. If I may say so, our close relationship has meant a great deal to me these past several years.

The Honorable U Thant Secretary General of the United Nations United Nations, New York

Dear Mr. Secretary General,

It was certainly a great pleasure to have the opportunity to visit with you and your associates at lunch in New York last week. I appreciate this opportunity to know you better as I have been one of your admirers from a distance.

Shortly you will receive a compilation of some of the best photographs of the earth taken by the astronauts in the NASA program. This book, "This Island Earth", will add little to your own world-wide perspective but I think you may find some of its pictures of interest.

With much respect and sincere appreciation, I am
