Text of a talk by an unidentified speaker, perhaps the Navy Surgeon General.

"I HAVE LOOKED FORWARD FOR SOMETIME TO THIS OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THIS MAGNIFICENT COMPLEX WHOSE FUNCTION IT IS TO TRAIN CAREFULLY SELECTED YOUNG MEN IN THE VERY COMPLICATED AND INTRICATE PROCESS OF OPERATING HIGH PERFORMANCE AIRCRAFT. IN SEARCHING MY MIND AND MY EXPERIENCES OF SOME THIRTY-FIVE YEARS OF NAVAL SERVICE TO DEVELOP SOME THOUGHTS WHICH MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE AND OF INTEREST TO THIS GROUP, I FELT THAT PERHAPS SOME SORT OF A CHRONOLOGY MIGHT BEST PORTRAY THE EXCITING AND SOMETIMES UNBELIEVABLE EVENTS WHICH HAVE OCCURRED IN AVIATION AND SPACE EXPLORATION. I KNOW THIS AUDIENCE WOULD EXPECT ME TO RELATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS WHICH BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AND THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE HAS MADE TO MANNED AIR AND SPACECRAFT. AS YOU ACQUIRE THE ART OF FLYING AND BECOME MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE AIRCRAFT AND PERSONAL EQUIPMENT, I THINK YOU WI LL RECOGNIZE THE MANY INTERFACES BETWEEN AIRCRAFT DESIGN AND HUMAN ENGINEERING WHICH DETERMINE BOTH MAN'S CAPABILITIES AND HIS LIMITATIONS.
