This is Volume 1 of NASA's Apollo 11 Technical Crew Debriefing, dated July 31, 1969. The Mission Operations Branch of the Flight Crew Support Division at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston prepared it, and it was originally classified Confidential. In it Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins go phase by phase through suiting, launch, powered flight, Earth orbit and lunar surface activities. They comment on suit fit, vibration, checklists, lunar dust, footing and poor sleeping conditions in the lunar module. A section titled Visual Sightings appears in the table of contents.

CONFIDENTIAL

ARMSTRONG(CONT'D)	The landing point moved downrange with time as evidenced by successive LPD readings.
FCOD REP.	Do you recall when you proceeded?
ARMSTRONG	It was very shortly after we were going into P64.
ALDRIN	We got P64 at 41 minutes 35 seconds; then you went MANUAL, ATTITUDE CONTROL.
ARMSTRONG	I can't say whether that was before or after proceeding.
ALDRIN	It wasn't too long after that, 41:35-P64, 42:05-manual attitude control is good, 42:17-program alarm. What I'm wondering is did the proceed have anything to do with maybe generating some more activity which would cause the program alarm? We weren't in 1668 at that point.

ARMSTRONG I have no recollection of that area.
