This 2003 house committee has an interesting perspective about the formative years under Weems, but that is OR. What is important is that his appointment appears to have been a three year limited term, which agrees with this newspaper article from 1969 which indicates Weems is still director.

This suggests that Fox was the director in 1968, and Weems was acting director. John Vandenberg (chat) 03:16, 8 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
