This is Volume I of III of the Gemini VII voice communications transcript, covering pages 1 to 337 and marked Confidential. It records air-to-ground, ground-to-air and on-board exchanges beginning at lift-off. Early passages cover staging, orbit insertion and stationkeeping with the booster, which the crew reports is venting heavily, and they photograph it. Later passages near 116 hours hold the crew's detailed descriptions of airglow, stars and a sunrise seen from orbit.

Jim, what probe did he have in? Is it the one with the lightweight headset? 70:13:32 P Roger. He has the one with the lightweight headset. 70:13:40 P Blood pressure coming through. 70:13:48 CC Cuff full-scale. 70:14:46 CC We have a valid blood pressure, Gemini VII. You can also remove the temperature probe, Frank. 70:14:54 C Roger. 70:14:58 CC Gemini VII, this is Surgeon. Frank, we have no more to add, I think, to your food, water and sleep report. We have all of that data from Jim on the last pass. I would like to ask a few questions here. One, what about the exercise before meals? Have you been doing those as programmed now? 70:15:22 C Chuck, we missed those yesterday due to the work load. We didn't get them in, but we're going to do them religiously today. 70:15:32 CC Very good. Are you feeling stiff at all, Jim? 70:15:38 P Not too stiff. Just about around the waist is a little stiffness. We have to keep arching our backs a little bit due to our sitting position. 70:15:50 CC Gemini VII. Right now you sound as if your voice is getting a little bit gravelly, and we heard this on a couple of occasions yesterday. Have you had any hoarseness or dryness in the cabin at all? Any symptoms at all? ## CONFIDENTIAL
