MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR

President Bush to Visit NASA Headquarters

I'm delighted to announce that President George W. Bush will visit NASA Headquarters Wednesday, January 14, to offer his vision for America's continued leadership in space exploration.

The President's remarks will be broadcast on NASA Television and on streaming video at our website (http://www.nasa.gov) beginning at 3 p.m. EST. All NASA Centers will be making special arrangements to televise the event in their auditoriums or other common areas.

NASA is always at its finest when faced with grand challenges. Tomorrow, the President will set in motion a wonderful opportunity to extend our exploration horizons and open new doors of possibilities for the next generation of explorers. Through our work to implement the President's vision, I'm confident we will energize U.S. creativity, innovation, technology development and leadership. I encourage all NASA and contractor employees to watch the President's remarks on what should be a very historic day for our storied Agency.

Sean O'Keefe
NASA Administrator
