Ml ih.u we can 01 should do in the space program, it rakes dedication and hard 

 work on the part of this great committee which I once had the pleasure oi serving 

 upon to generate interest and to keep our great space program going 



Fortunately, Dr. Fletcher understood precisely what Teague was 

 driving at in his telegraphic Wast. At the University of Utah, when: 



he had served as President, he was described by a fellow administrator 

 as "devoid of vanity and willing to talk candidly about any issue, even 

 those which might be embarrassing to either the university or him- 

 self." Teague got his point across forcefully: that at a rime when the 

 budget squeeze was on, the space program needed leadership and a 

 minimum of negative soul-searching. Teague helped instill a fighting 

 spirit into NASA, and never ceased to insist that the space program and 

 its allies must accentuate the positive.
