He rose to national prominence in the mid-1960s as NASA's deputy administrator -- the No. 2 position -- and championed the call for manned space flight. In 1965, Dr. Seamans became NASA deputy administrator. During the next three years, he worked to commit physicists and others in the space community to the concept of manned space flight and a lunar landing.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>
