Apollo 1 debris to be logged as investigators probe fire
UPI reports the Space Agency to log each charred debris piece from the Apollo 1 cabin as part of the inquiry into last Friday's fatal flash fire. Dr. Robert Seamans plans a preliminary Cape Kennedy briefing. Senator Anderson considers a formal investigation into oxygen use. Webb criticizes testing that led to the full oxygen environment, warning of possible modifications but noting the overall system remains sound with careful study. A duplicate command module was sent to Cape Kennedy for comparison as technicians begin dismantling the damaged vessel.
