President John F. Kennedy had been scheduled to make the official transfer to the City of Seattle, but was detained in Washington by the Cuban missile crisis.
Here, Senator Warren Magnuson, standing in for the President, speaks to the crowd gathered for the re-opening of the Science Center. A model of the Mariner Space Craft is suspended above the podium. |
