Welcome to the United States Pavilion. We are proud to take part in this exposition, the first to be held in Asia. Like Japan, America is a Pacific nation, and it is as a friend and neighbor that we wish to express our sympathy with the high theme chosen for the fair. Progress and Harmony for Mankind have always been matters of central hope and concern for all Americans. Our own exhibits fall under the broad heading "Images of America."They attempt to convey an impression of the beauty and riches of our land, and a sense of the spirit that moves us today as it once moved our ancestors. As a people, we respect life and we exult in its possibilities. Thus there may be seen beneath this vast roof a mixture of the profound and the purely fascinating. Its variety is that of our country itself, and its promise larger yet-a confirmation of our collective faith in humanity. I am pleased to welcome to this Pavilion everyone who shares that faith. (!l_u /Jl+.,. Richard M. Nixon President

The exhibits featured under the translucent air-supported cable roof treat the diversity and creativity characteristic of the American spirit. Seven major exhibits illustrating the theme, "Images of America;· shuttle the visitor back and forth in time and through a series of differentiated spaces on various planes . The floor dividing the luminous enclosure into two levels zigs and zags, projects and rec edes so that exhibits may be seen above, below and at eye level. Exhibition areas are arranged so that the visitor catches glimpses ahead, glances backwards at past exhibits and constantly makes visual comparisons.

Andre Kertesz Ten Photographers 7;.,,J-'v·n-'f·1
Huge rear-lit transparencies by ten of America's most perceptive photographers-a panorama of landscape, lifestyles and faces introduce visitors to the United States exhibition. All 120 photographs are in black and white rather than in color to emphasize and individualize their documentary quality. Each photographer represented in this exhibit has addressed himself to the task of interpreting in visual terms an aspect of American reality which has been particularly accessible to his own sensibility. Neither individually nor cumulatively do they show the whole truth. except in the sense meant by Ernest Hemingway, who said "any part you make will represent the whole. if it is made truly." •

American Painting
In contrast to the monochromatic scenes of contemporary America in the Ten Photographers exhibit. the painted images of the past are offered in a selection of realist American paintings. The twenty-one pictures exhibited in the United States Pavilion were selected from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collections to survey briefly from the eighteenth into the twentieth century some significant aspects of American realist painting in portraiture. genre, landscape and city scenes. The artists of this group are distinguished for their penetrating views of the American experience and mood.

Virtually all of the space components on display in the United States Pavilion are "real"-ei th er because they are flight-flown objects retrieved from outer space (such as the Apollo 8 Command Module) or because th ey are objects capable of being flight-fl own (such as a lunar module).

This structure permits sunlight to pass through during the day and glows at night from interior light. Measuring 274 feet by 465 feet, the super-elliptical enclosure constitutes the largest and lightest clear span, air-supported roof ever built. It weighs approximately one pound per square foot. The enclosure consists of a vinyl-coated fiberglass fabric membrane which spans between intersecting high strength steel cables and is kept inflated by an internal pressure of approximately three-hundredths of a pound (.03) per squa re inch above the outside atmospheric pressure. The visitor entering the translucent air-supported cable roof passes into the structure through revolving doors located in a concrete tunnel entrance area. The interior structure. housing seven major exhibits on two levels. is an angular. steel framework posed against the curved walls of the mirror mylared interior berm surface.

U.S. Department of the Interior Harvey Kahn Mr & Mrs. Jacob M. Kaplan We are pleased to be participating in Japan's first world exposition. In planning the United States Pavilion and its related exhibits at this great exposition, we sought to bring to Expo '70 a representative view of America enclosed in the latest and most meaningful of building technologies. Our search for a totally new building methodology for enclosing space led us into the development of a cable and air-supported superspan-a technique which may be used to provide a controlled and pollution-free environment over stadiums, crops and even cities. As for our exhibits, they are an attempt to convey a sense of who Americans are, .. where and how we live, and what we have created in the way of science, culture and technology. 0 It is our hope that the combination of our air-supported structure together with the diverse exhibits which it encloses will be of interest to all those who visit the United States Pavilion. \-llll~L.~\ Howard L.
