Dick Young, NASA Public Affairs, introduces Brewster Shaw, Deputy Program Manager Space Shuttle, and Bob Sieck, Launch Director, Kennedy Space Center, who give brief statements about the countdown and launch of the STS-52 Columbia Orbiter. The problems encountered during countdown are discussed, including details on the hydrogen leak in the ground umbilical carrier tank, the 100% exceedance of load on the external tank, and the reasons why the flight rule for an upper limit of cross winds was waived. The men then answered questions from the press.
