Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield argued it is better to risk questionable elections in South Vietnam than allow no voting. He held that elections promised by Premier Ky should occur even without international supervision, despite low prospects for UN observers and South Vietnam’s Communist influence. Javits noted Saigon's election panel advised excluding direct or indirect Communist or neutralist workers from the ballot.

Cernan's 2 hour 5 minute spacewalk set a record, though a fogged visor and a failed docking cone prevented a link with the chase target, leaving the crew with a dramatic but incomplete rendezvous.
