[i]NASA Administrator Charles F. Bolden has warned lawmakers that a shutdown of the federal government could delay a public announcement next week on whether Wright-Patterson Air Force Base will receive one of the retired space shuttles. Bolden delivered the warning Tuesday in a telephone call with Rep. Steve Austria, R-Beavercreek, who has been lobbying NASA to send one of its three shuttles to the National Museum of the Air Force at Wright-Patterson. NASA has scheduled to make the announcement on Tuesday at Cape Kennedy - the 30th anniversary of the first shuttle flight in space. "The announcement of the space shuttles could be delayed if there is a government shutdown," Austria said Wednesday morning.[/i]
