NASA NAMES ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR FOR LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS
NASA Administrator Michael Griffin announced today that Brian Chase
will serve as the agency's new assistant administrator for Legislative
Affairs.
Chase most recently was vice president of Washington Operations for the
Space Foundation. The Foundation is the leading non-profit organization
advancing the exploration, development and use of space for civil,
commercial and national security endeavors. He represented the Foundation
for space policy, educational programs, events, conferences, symposia and
media activities.
Prior to joining the Space Foundation, Chase served as executive director of
the National Space Society (NSS). He was responsible for all aspects of
managing an international, 20,000-member grassroots organization. Prior to
joining NSS, he served as deputy chief of staff, campaign manager, press
secretary and senior legislative assistant, for U.S. Congressman Dave Weldon
(R-FL).
Chase also worked as manager of State Relations and Strategic Communications
for NASA contractor United Space Alliance in Houston. He began his career at
NASA's Johnson Space Center and the agency's headquarters as a cooperative
education student and later as a program analyst with the International
Space Station Program Office.
Chase has been a radio and television commentator on numerous national and
regional outlets, including the Fox News Channel, CNN, CNBC and C-SPAN. He
earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Texas at
Arlington.
Reporting to the office of Strategic Communications, the Office of
Legislative Affairs devises and implements the legislative strategy to carry
out NASA initiatives requiring congressional action and state and local
government relations. The office also responds to requests and inquiries
from congressional committees, individual members of Congress, and their
staffs. For more information about NASA and agency programs on the Web,
