Whole Nine Yards update(1964)?

[Sam Clements]

Newspaper Archive, who has been(rightfully) much maligned the last few weeks while they're updating their workings, produces today this cite:

Tucson(AZ) Daily Citizen, 25 April 1964, page 25, a story about NASA.

"Give 'em the whole nine yards" means an item-by-item report on any project.  

Make of this what you will.  It may not be what it seems.  I just stopped by to report this.
