Schneider met at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. with other key NASA officials to determine whether the spacewalk was safe enough to try. They also considered whether it was really needed to salvage the $2.6 billion Skylab program. "The current and projected status of the electrical power was reviewed, as well as its effect on the conduct of the mission," Schneider said in a statement released through Mission Control.

"IT WAS shown that, without electrical power augmentation, the experimentation on the current Skylab mission would continue to be curtailed and constrained, while for the next two missions the 56-day duration probably would not be possible." Schneider said backup Skylab 1 commander Russell Schweickart reviewed the spacewalk techniques he had worked out Continued on A-2 Plans for the emergency spacewalk were completed mere hours before the go-ahead decision was made. The astronauts received the word from Mission Control two hours later. "OK," CONRAD replied. "That's good. We think breaking the monotony with an extra EVA (spacewalk) is worthwhile." Among the potential hazards of the operation above those always associated with spacewalking were the lack of built-in handholds along the space station's side, the possibility of jagged metal debris around the broken wing, and the lack of opportunity for weeks of practice before attempting the walk.

Man has never before crawled completely outside a spaceship in flight and tried to repair it. SKYLAB DIRECTOR William C. Schneider said he approved the space station repair attempt because "the potential gain outweighed the risks involved" and a review of the proposed techniques showed "no unusual safety hazard." He said the operation would be similar to a walk boost the failing power supply aboard America's first orbital space station. The decision, reached after a six hour meeting to assess the risks of the venture, cleared Commander Charles "Pete" Conrad to crawl hand-over-hand 20 feet down the outside of the crippled space station and pry or cut open a jammed solar cell power wing. SUCCESS WOULD end an electrical energy crisis aboard Skylab which forced Conrad, Joseph P.

Herein and Paul J. Weitz to curtail their scientific experiments and threatened to keep two other crews from spending the full 56 days planned for each in Skylab later this year. Conrad's spacewalk would be the astronaut's second major repair aboard Skylab. In the first, they raised a huge orange-and-silver parasol over the research outpost to replace an aluminum heat shield lost during launch and cool the craft enough to make it habitable.

But it said Nixon would not release the logs of their talks on grounds it would be "constitutionally inappropriate." It was reported during the weekend that Dean, who has been fired, told Senate investigators he met more than 30 times with Nixon this year about a cover-up of the Watergate bugging Deputy Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren said their discussions involved, among other things, Nixon's "own investigation" that he ordered into Watergate March 21. BUT WARREN said Nixon "will not allow the logs to be released," either to the Senate Watergate Committee or even if subpoenaed todosobythe ederal grand jury, "because it would be constitutionally inappropriate." Special Waterage Prosecutor Archibald Cox, asked about the Nixon refusal, told reporters that he intended to have access toall papers and would expose any attempt to keep him from them. Cox Monday proposed a three-month postponement of the Senate's Watergate hearings.

But Sen. Sam J. Ervin chairman of the Senate Watergate Committee, promptly rejected any delay. "I WOULDN'T consent to it," Ervin told reporters.

"But it would be inappropriate to say that any people would become suspects by not having been stricken from the list."

Prior to the revisions outlined by Gordon, the proposed agreement had set the state's alleged debt at $5000. Another revision to the proposed agreement was that, if any of the animals left at the zoo are found to be incapable of reproduc to the state by the commission are housed at the zoo. The offspring of the animals are taken by the state to a research facility and "as suitable" released into the wild. Gordon placed the value of the animals to be turned over the the zoo at andthevalueof pensin which the animals are housed at $45,000.
