was accompanied by Col. James Smith of the Research Triangle, and 
at that time some of us from North Carolina suggested to him that he 
recommend to the Governor of North Carolina that the General As- 
sembly in its then-sitting session this year give this Council statutory 
authority or basis. This was done. and we are grateful for that because 
we think it will be effective. 
Now, Governor Scott, if you and those witnesses who will partici- 
pate with you will have a seat at the witness table, we will be delighted 
to hear from you. 
I think each member has been provided with a copy of Governor 
Scott’s statement, and he has indicated to me that he prefers that you 
tell him a question rather than ask him one, and he has competent 
experts with him who can respond to any questions posed by the gentle- 
ment of the subcommittee. 
Mr. Garmatz. Mr. Chairman, will you yield for a moment ? 
Mr. Lennon. Yes, Mr. Chairman. 
Mr. Garmatz. I wonder if the chairman would be so kind as to 
introduce the members of the committee personally to the Governor. 
Mr. Lennon. Well, I will be delighted to do that. I will let you do 
that yourself, starting with my friend from the First District of North 
Carolina on the right. Go ahead for the record. Introduce yourself 
to Governor Scott since you have known him all your life and are a 
close friend of his. 
Mr. Jones. Congressman Jones of North Carolina. 
Mr. Lennon. Congressman Dave Henderson, who is not a member 
of our committee but a great member of two important. committees 
with respect to North Carolina, the Post Office and Civil Service 
Committee and the Public Works Committee. 
Congressman Karth of Minnesota, a very distinguished member of 
this Committee and also of the Science and Astronautics Committee. 
Congressman Tom Downing of Virginia, also a member of the 
Science and Astronautics Committee. 
Congressman Charles Mosher, the ranking minority member of this 
subcommittee, from the State of Ohio. 
Congressman Tom Pelly from the State of Washington. 
Congressman Hastings Keith from the great State of Massachu- 
setts; and Congressman Schadeberg, who is a dedicated and fine mem- 
ber of this subcommittee.
