15, 1962. Subsequent to that date, one incorporator withdrew because of illness. After the convening of the 88th Congress, the President, on January 30, 1963, resubmitted 12 of the original 13 nominees. These names were referred to the Commerce Committee. On February 28, two additional names were submitted to be incorporators and these names were also referred to the Commerce Committee. Because of the untimely death of its chairman, Senator Kerr, and the delay of the organization of the Senate, the Space Committee did not have its initial meeting until February 28. At that time the committee discussed the matter of the incorporators and it was decided to try to arrange to meet with the Commerce Committee if possible. Due to the press of time and the existence of previous commitments, however, it was not feasible to conduct a joint hearing on March 11, the time already scheduled for hearings by the Commerce Committee. Therefore, on March 14, after consultation with the chairman of the Commerce Committee, Senator Magnuson, I asked unanimous consent of the Senate that, upon the referral back to the Senate of the names of the incorporators by the Commerce Committee, these names be re-referred to the Space Committee for further consideration. The names of the incorporators before us today are Joseph V. Charyk, of California; John T. Connor, New Jersey; George Feldman, New York; Beardsley Graham, Kentucky; Sam Harris, New York; Edgar F. Kaiser, California; David M. Kennedy, Illinois; George L. Killion, California; A. Byrne Litschgi, Florida; Leonard Marks, District of Columbia; Bruce G. Sundlun, Rhode Island; Sidney J. Weinberg, New York; Leo D. Welch, New York; and Leonard Woodcock, Michigan. Without objection, we will place the biographies of these men in the record at this point.

Recognizing in 1959 that the technical feasibility of commercial communication satellites was clearly established, Graham conceived of the joint venture plan and initiated, implemented and directed all Lockheed commercial satellite activities until December 1961. Early in-house studies indicated economic feasibility and focused attention on business and regulatory problems. To investigate these aspects, Booz, Allen & Hamilton and Pierson, Ball & Dowd were engaged early in 1960. During the last half of 1960 and in 1961 the results of these studies were presented at high corporate levels to A.T. & T., I.T. & T., RCA, G.T. & E., TIME, INC., and to various governmental and legislative agencies, including FCC, OCDM, Department of Justice, Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Commerce, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Senate and House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committees, Senate Aeronautical and Space Sciences Committee, House Science and Astronautics Committee, and Senate Judiciary Committee. A railroad release was obtained from Justice and RCA and G.T. & E. elected to join Lockheed in further studies refining the joint venture concept. Certain refinements were presented and original studies were made public in response to various FCC dockets and legislative hearings. Lockheed's (and Graham's) commercial communication satellite activities essentially ended with a presentation on the FCC Ad Hoc Carrier Committee on September 7, 1961. |
