...Commission's branches exists only for the benefit of certain F.T.C. members. This is an office at Oak Ridge, Tenn., a place with an infinitesimal population. There is no apparent reason for the office's existence, except that the head of the House Appropriations Sub-committee--Joseph Evans--who has jurisdiction over the F.T.C. comes from that area, as does the Commission's chairman...

The officers in charge of the homecoming at the base also put aside their concern for what the crew symbolized and concentrated on having a standard welcoming ceremony.
