I think it emphasizes the importance of the results - it's for everyone, not just scientific types.

Back in 1964, President Lyndon Johnson "expressed interest" in the first close-up pictures NASA got from the Moon on Ranger 7. The freshly developed images were loaded onto a plane and the President got a private briefing with the head of NASA on the very same day.
