Description

“I maintain a policy of not answering questions of opinion”

TLS, one page, 7.75 x 9.75, University of Cincinnati letterhead, March 9, 1977. Armstrong writes to Harvey M. Haber in Willowdale, Ontario. In part: “Although I do respond to questions that deal with matter of fact, I maintain a policy of not answering questions of opinion. I am, therefore, unable to provide the viewpoints you seek….” Accompanied by a letter from Armstrong’s secretary to Haber, dated March 30, 1977. In part: “Professor Armstrong has asked me to respond to your letter. As he has described in many past flight press conferences, the phrases in question emerged from Professor Armstrong’s thoughts after the successful landing. They are, of course, a natural consequence of the ‘step’ from the lunar module to the lunar surface….” Matted and framed together with a photo to an overall size of 32 x 19. In fine condition. JSA/Scott Cornish Auction LOA and RRAuction COA. Oversized.
