Robert F. Packard, Director of State Dept.'s Office of Space and Environmental Science Affairs, described prospects for international cooperative programs in space before meeting of National Capital Section of AIAA: ". . . our foreign policy objectives clearly call for an ongoing and successful space program [and] to a surprising degree the American position in the world today may be affected by the manner in which we conduct our space program. . . . There may be opportunities to use space technology for arms verification and arms control, and to create special opportunities for cooperation between the major space powers. There will clearly be opportunities to extend the economic and social benefits which this technology offers and to use these applications, as well as scientific research projects, as a means for increased international cooperation."
