I have the full Press conference along with the transcript which includes images of the slides they were referring to...
Link to the cover page of the press conference, which was on 12 August 1969:
http://history.nasa.gov/ap11ann/FirstLunarLanding/cover.htmlWorthy of note in the questions are the usual cringeworthy "how did it feel" queries, which few of the early astronauts, other than John Glenn, were any good at answering. NASA hadn't trained them for public speaking.
Mike Collins summed it up quite well in the extras to the DVD of the movie, "In the Shadow of the Moon":--
Behind the Shadow
6. How do I feel?
0:00:10 Mike Collins: Here is one of the most momentous occasions. For the first time you've got three human beings that are leaving their home planet. They're leaving Mother Earth, they're flying off to God knows where — we hope the moon. Never been done before. So what do you say? You say, "Apollo 8, you are Go for TLI. Over."
0:00:30 Mike Collins: It should've been, I don't know, some kind of invitation or a salutation or important message or some better way of communicating than saying, "You're Go for TLI." But any way, that was the way the space programme was.

0:00:51 Maskelyne W, "Wash Basin", top centre.
0:00:53 Maskelyne B, top right.
0:00:57 Columbia next to Boot Hill, south of the east side of Maskelyne. Duke Island, south of the west side of Maskelyne, at 10:30 o'clock from Columbia.
0:00:59 Collins: I think the space programme would've been considerably different in the public view if astronauts had been trained differently or if they were different people.
0:01:01 Sidewinder Rille left of top centre.
0:01:13 Collins: We said earlier that being a military test pilot was the best background from a technical point of view, but was probably, I would add, the worst background from a public relations, of a public understanding, or an emotional point of view.
0:01:30 Collins: We were trained to transmit vital pieces of information. If someone had said from the ground to me in space, "Well, how do you feel about that?" I'd have said, "What? Huh?" You know, I don't know how I feel about that. "You want the temperature? You want the pressure? You want the velocity? You want the altitude? What do you mean how do I feel about that?"
0:01:54 Collins: It was not within our ken to share emotions or to utter extraneous information. Yes, things were terse, they were clipped. We were trained to give those essential pieces of information.
0:02:12 Collins: It seems, maybe, rather short-sighted, almost cruel, you might say, not to want to share anything, but if, on the other hand, you think about a whole sky full of airplanes, you've got 30 or 40 jet fighters all up there all on the same frequency, and saying, "Blue Four, say your fuel state."
0:02:35 Collins: "Well, I feel that my fuel state is just something that's so overwhelming to me I, I just am very reluctant but I have to report that I'm down to 1200 pounds."
0:02:45 Collins: Well, that guy would get grounded. He's supposed to, "Blue Four, 1200 pounds."
0:02:50 Collins: So, perhaps that helps explain why we were so "tight-lipped", you might say.
