NASA ADMINISTRATOR SEAN O'KEEFE

Jefferson D. Howell, Jr., director of the Johnson Space Center. "He has
seen us through very challenging times, and through his efforts has forged a
strong NASA team, with a shared vision for our future."

"He has us well positioned to return the Space Shuttle fleet to flight early
next year, to continue building the International Space Station, and to
further expand our presence in the universe."

the best in his new endeavors."
