Two Unreleased Reports by Carl Sagan (FOIA - NASA; Venus)

Figured these might interest some people here:

"The Radiation Balance of Venus." Authored by Carl Sagan. Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 15 Sept 1960. Technical Report No. 32-34.

"On the Origin of the Venus Microwave Emission." Authored by Carl Sagan, K.M. Siegel, and D.E. Jones.

As far as I can tell, these two reports - authored or coauthored by celebrity-scientist Carl Sagan - have never been publicly released until now. My Freedom of Information Act request for these reports was forwarded to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which released them to me on 4 August 2005 (FOIA request SJ-2005-022).
