I marked this one as OT for "On-Topic" ;-)

Anyways, semi-related to the current nonsense is historical documentation. So
I did some www searching for material and a few items popped up ...

"The Apollo 204 Accident," John L. Walker, 1980. This is a research paper of
some sort. Has anyone read it? If so, worth reading?

A congressional report was mentioned. What was the exact title, document
number, date of publication? Specific page numbers were called out which
seemed to have relevant OT (on-topic) information. I found three things
searching some open electronic libraries; only references though, not
digitized reports.

   "Apollo 204 accident. Report of the committee with additional
   views." 1968, United States Congress. 90:2. Senate Report no.
   956, Committee on Aeronautical and Space Sciences.

   "Apollo accident. Hearings before the Committee. 1967-68.,
   United States Congress. 90-1. Senate Committee on Aeronautical
   and Space Sciences. General Note: Two-volume report entitled:
   Status of actions taken on the Apollo 204 Review Board Report.

   "Investigation into Apollo 204 accident. Hearings before the
   Subcommittee on NASA oversight," Hearings held Apr. 10, 11, 12,
   17, 21. May 10, 1967.

Is one of these that report? Or is it some other document that I didn't find
with a www search yet? Perhaps it was mentioned but the S/N ratio may have
contributed to my missing any proper references.

Lastly, if there is something urgent that someone wants from the archives (I'm
in Maryland, not far from DC and other repositories) I can fetch and post it,
time permitting (rather busy at day job right now so no promises).
