Are there any rumors of a big NASA lunar space policy due any day now?

If you read the whole transcript, you can see he was trying to beat one
point into Webb's head, that beating the Russians to the moon ought to be
*the top* priority of NASA. Everything else could wait. Even the lunar
science could wait.

And as Webb kept pointing out in response, it was the official policy of
both the Administration and Congress that "pre-eminence" in space was the
goal, and that this required advancing on a broad front, not favoring the
lunar landing above all else. This policy wasn't something JFK alone had
created, and it wasn't something he could just brush aside; to change it,
he had to get other people to buy into a revised version first.

Clearly, there was a fundamental conflict between the space pre-eminence
policy and JFK's budget priorities, which was going to have to be resolved
sooner or later, but JFK never got around to doing that.

Pre-eminence started to slip when LBJ, as one of his first presidential
decisions on space, postponed funding for a nuclear-rocket flight test
pending a specific mission requirement... indirectly serving notice that
post-Apollo continuation of the broad advance was no longer assured. And
it died when Congress -- much altered by substantial turnover in the 1966
mid-term elections -- gutted NASA's post-Apollo plans in summer 1967.
