Apollo 12 press notice. 

Mike Cooper, an ABC News employee in the late 1960s, kept a collection of materials relating to NASA’s Apollo Missions. This collection provides a unique perspective of behind-the-scenes news coverage.

Not much is known about Cooper. Cooper signs all correspondence with "Mike," however, there is a nametag in the collection that says "Michelle Cooper," so it is possible that "Mike" was used as a nickname.
