December 19, 1958
THIS IS THE PRESIDENT of the United States speaking. Through the marvels of scientific advance my voice is coming to you from a satellite circling in outer space. My message is a simple one. Through this unique means I convey to you and to all mankind America's wish for peace on earth and good will toward men everywhere.
Note: This message was first received from the satellite "Score" at Cape Canaveral, Fla.
