A bit of history: Lady Bird Johnson owned the land NASA sits on in Clear Lake. The govn. bought it from Lady Bird. That had to be a few dollars changing hands. I lived in Clear Lake area for over 16 years.

Lots of stories about who owned the property but this is from the JSC history website: http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum34/HTML/000123.html

Sold to the US government for $20.00 was previously owned by Exxon.
