Namely that he was against starting the Apollo program, but he was also against stopping it. In other words, he felt that unmanned exploration would be more profitable, but having spent the money and established the capability of going to the moon, we should have used that capability to do more exploration. I suspect he would feel similarly on the space station. Incidently, the Planetary Society magazine has had a number articles, both pro and con about the station. I don't believe that the Society as a whole has taken a stand on it (though I could be wrong).
