October 14, 1963. They were announcing us at a press conference. And a week before that, dick arranged a meeting with the head of Johnson Space center and all the directors and different people. So paul was going to be there. Paul was on the phone when he started this meaning, and so he didnt get there when they started it. When he finally got off the call he was telling me he went down there and he went in. He had just finished naming and giving a little brief background of all the people that were selected.
