Apollo Achievement Award signed by NASA Administrator.

Apollo/Saturn V Roll of Honor by the Boeing Company, also signed by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins on 9/15/1969.

Text: "Be it known that the name of C. C. McClelland has been entered into the Apollo/Saturn V Roll of Honor.

Down through the ages, great pioneering efforts - Marco Polo's journey to the orient, Columbus' discovery of America, colonization of the New World - have been subjects of penetrating study by historians, both professional and amateur. Such an event that will capture the imagination of future historians is happening now; it is the pioneering of space and you have been part of this effort.

The Apollo/Saturn V Roll of Honor is a unique volume dedicated to the purpose of recording for all time the names of individuals who so diligently, over the years, put forth their energies and skills to make possible mankind's greatest expedition; that of sending three men to the moon and returning them to earth safely. Throughout the ages, individual contributors have all too often been forgotten. Not so here, your name and your deed will be preserved for our generation, and for those who follow.

One copy of this volume will be placed in the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., a second in the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., and a third within an approporate monument. The emplacement of these volumes will occur shortly after the return of the astronauts from the moon.

To commemorate the occasion of having your name entered into the Apollo/Saturn V Roll of Honor, you are being presented this doubloon, which will serve as evidence to your family, friends and acquaintances of your distinguised participation in man's greatest adventure."

The FINAL University speaking engagement that the US Fed Gov ALLOWED me to attend concerning my important DISCLOSURES, was Tulane University. I sent 1,700 (one thousand seven hundred) more of my very impressive lecture flyer's to those many colleges and universities in 1991.

Prior to that, I mailed out about 1,200! I always received about 10 to 14 speaking invitations in those years. Of the 1,700 mailed in 1991, NOT ONE was returned for an engagement. I called several of the university Student Activity Councils Members, and all told me I was forbidden on their campuses. Am I Black Balled? Absolutely, I AM. Clark
