Note 2

FROM:  W B Barker  

Turns out, for the 25th anniversary celebration, I contacted Marty and
asked him if he remembered what that first message was.  He said no.  I
then suggested that we dream up something worthy and memorable, agree on
it, and both stick to the story.  He said no, the important thing for
folks to note and remember was that at the time, unlike the lunar
landing a couple of months earlier, no one thought the event worthy of
enough note to think up something memorable or even to record what was
said.
