I don't claim Mr. Lloyed initiated the policy, but by the matter-of-fact tone of the letter itself, I can infer he agreed that NASA certainly had no use for women astronauts at the time, despite their presence in the sciences and engineering (I believe Playtex/ILC Dover were hired to do the Apollo spacesuits and there were a fair number of women involved).

All I see is someone following the current policy and not being mean about it. Plus astronauts were taken from the military, and women were not accepted as combat pilots in the military still 1976, so NASA didn't have a choice in the matter even if they had wanted to accept women.
