Congress actually briefly started to fund the thing before cancelling it.

The very last reference explains something that puzzled me in the one photo of the thing I remember seeing: it had something like an aluminized folded umbrella fastened to one end. It turns out that this was a solar sail that it would have used to keep itself aligned in attitude. (There's also one 1966 NASA document which I can't obtain, but whose title suggests that they might have been planning to add more instruments to it -- specifically, a "solar wind deuterium detector and charge spectrum analyzer".)
