This letter regarding designations for Apollo missions notes that "Unfortunately, the scheme for designating missions as stated in your message does not yet solve the problem of reserving the Apollo 1 name for Spacecraft 012 and its crew. As we have discussed with you and General Phillips in the past, the wives of the three deceased astronauts have made a special plea to reserve this Apollo 1 designation for Spacecraft 012 and the Grissom, White and Chaffee crew."; Archive copy is a photocopy.; In replay refer to: AB.
