Agreement between six of the Mercury Seven astronauts (John Glenn having received his own contract) in which they elect to have Harry A. Batten represent them as their agent. In part: “Whereas the above named…Astronauts have been selected to train for participation in Projects Gemini, Apollo and other Space Flight Projects of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (hereinafter referred to as NASA), and…[the] Astronauts and their families have valuable rights to stories of their personal experiences in connection with these Projects, including their personal stories of their space flights…[the] Astronauts have selected and hereby appoint Harry A. Batten to represent them in the sale of the rights they may have arising out of the projects.” Also signed by Batten and the wives of the six astronauts. Horizontal filing fold at the bottom of each page, four punch holes along the left side, paperclip impressions at the top edge, and a staple and staple holes at the top left corner, otherwise fine condition. An amazing document in which six of the original astronauts—including Grissom—agree to tell their life stories!
