Somebody has got to tell Schlesinger, "All right, you've got your 55-mile-an-hour speed limit, you've got your natural gas bill-that's about all you've got, but no production anywhere, no new resources that are coming in." You show me an energy czar who is not going to plan for production...
...flawless launch, NASA lofted into earth orbit an $87 million remote-controlled astronomical observatory that should help answer some of the most fundamental questions about the universe. Two days later, some 29 million kilometers (18 million miles) further out in space and closing in on Venus, a U.S. spacecraft ejected the first of four probes that will thoroughly analyze the atmosphere of the cloud-shrouded planet before hitting its scalding surface...
Kennedy's proposals present a serious attempt to answer some of these difficulties, partly be redistributing resources to provede a better service to all.

Unwillingly, I assumed they'd been wiser and gone to the summit hut, which meant there was no one behind...

It took me too long to understand what he was saying, let alone to try to formulate an answer. At the same time I had enough clarity of mind left, slow as it worked, to realize hypothermia was really beginning to grip me. I could see myself fast approaching the state the two men were in but I knew Johnnie et al would soon be over to help...
