A model of the Apollo-Soyuz spacecraft with docking adapter is shown to President Richard Nixon. The NASA Apollo 16 astronauts, John W. Young, Charles M. Duke, Thomas K. Mattingly, with NASA Administrator Dr. James C. Fletcher met with President Richard Nixon at the White House shortly after returning from the Moon. The President also received a progress report on the Joint U.S. and U.S.S.R. space docking project. The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project launched three years later on July 15, 1975.
