OK, so that's the original '77 briefing with additions, but it doesn't tell the whole story - there would have been addenda and changes, as well as verbal ad-libs to the script at briefing time. Testimony given (albeit reluctantly) indicates that the 6,000ft lower limit was verbally amended to any altitude cleared by the McMurdo controllers - if that was the case then it would almost certainly have been in Collins' or Cassin's notes, both of which disappeared under highly dubious circumstances.

(Also, a little tip - if you're going to copy and paste from Word, copy and paste it first into Notepad (or any other raw text editor) and then copy/paste again into the form - it won't muck about with the fonts then.)
