The suspension was ordered by Massachusetts Registrar of Motor Vehicles Richard G. McLaughlin.

Each of the astronauts appeared before the camera during the 15-minute telecast and paid tribute to the scientific and engineering teams on the ground that have made the flight a success. Aldrin set the theme for the broadcast by saying: "We've come to the conclusion that this has been far more than three men on a voyage to the moon more 1 I Ql I I is completed by inspectors from the motor vehicle department based at nearby Oak Bluffs. Inspector George Kennedy, who is the inquiry into the accident, described the suspension as "automatic an administrative THE SUSPENSION will remain in effect until Inspector Kennedy makes a final recommendation to state authorities in Boston. The senator can request a hearing in the event that his license is revoked. Mary Jo Kopechne, a Washington political researcher, was drowned when Kennedy's 1966 Oldsmobile plunged into a tidal pond on Chappaquiddick Island after both had left a reunion of campaign workers.

One of the participants at the party, Esther Newberg, related that Kennedy and Miss Kopechne left the party suddenly.

"We feel that this stands as a symbol of the insatiable curiosity of all mankind to explore the unknown." SEVERAL HOURS before the broadcast, scientists monitoring a seismometer left on the moon by Armstrong and Aldrin reported an "exciting find." They said the instrument had radioed back reports of either a moonquake or the jolt of a meteoroid hitting the lunar surface. A moonquake would indicate the moon, like earth, is a live celestial body with a hot core producing stresses below the surface. One of the nation's leading geophysicists, Dr. Garry Latham, leans toward -the theory a quake, rather than a meteoroid, caused the vibrations.
