This newly scanned 1972 printout is a significant piece of Lisp history. It lists the code npub1p3f8lklnsf2e736ghztzla2fpvrhryfec88vkx2ypgykhsm8s38s6x0vfn (npub1p3f…0vfn) wrote to implement an Algol-like FOR iterative statement for Lisp/360.

Not long after that he implemented the FOR iterative statement of Interlisp, which much later motivated and influenced the Common Lisp LOOP macro.
