"...Charlie Duke and I are proof that you can hold your breath for 7 minutes

Statement by President Richard Nixon following splashdown, April 27, 1972
"The journey of Apollo 16 has ended, but the contributions of this mission to scientific progress have only begun. Rarely, if ever has so much new information been made available to science in such a brief period. As the work of evaluation and analysis goes forward, the impact of Apollo 16 will be felt for many years to come.
On behalf of all Americans, I am pleased to welcome Astronauts Young, Duke, and Mattingly back to earth and to salute them for a job well done. Their skill, their courage, and their enthusiasm have written another proud chapter in the stirring story of mankind's struggle to unlock the mysteries of the unknown."
