TALK ABOUT AN ACE IN THE ROLE! CONGRATULATIONS TO GEMINI IX ON CARRYING OUT A MOST DIFFICULT AND TRYING MISSION. YOUR PATIENCE AND COURAGE WERE REWARDED. WE ARE PLEASANT THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO CARRY OUT MOST OF THE EXPERIMENTS AND LOOK FORWARD EAGERLY TO THE RESULTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR OUTSTANDING COOPERATION AND EFFORT IN THIS REGARD. A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO THE PILOT FROM DR. JOCELYN GILL, A FELLOW PROVISOITE WHO PRECEDED HIM BY A FEW YEARS, WARM CONGRATULATIONS ON THE LONG SPACE WALK--IT WAS EXPECTED OF COURSE THAT PROVISO COULD ACCOMPLISH IT.
