In Astronautics & Aeronautics editorial written just before his appointment as Secretary of Air Force, incoming AIAA President, Dr. Robert C. Seamans, Jr." said: "I believe that to understand adequately the challenges that confront those of us in aeronautical and aerospace activities, we must take as our perspective the commitments that challenge the nation as a whole. President Eisenhower, President Kennedy, and President Johnson, each in his own way, had a major impact on aeronautics and astronautics. And for each, his support of aerospace was a function of his belief that such efforts were instrumental in the accomplishment of national goals. In the future, as in the past, governmental support of aerospace will be based largely on its demonstrated relevance to the needs of the nation." (A&A, 2/69, 26-7)
