{description}   Dr. Kurt H. Debus, KSC's first director, makes a brief speech
                during the topping off ceremonies for the Vehicle Assembly
                Building held on April 14, 1965. In the foreground is the 38-
                foot-long, four-ton steel beam signed by thousands of KSC
                employees and construction workers. The beam was hoisted to the
                tope of the 525-foot-tall structure and put in place to complete
                the building's steel skeleton.
