President Bush appointed Mr. Augustine chairman of the Advisory Committee
on the Future of the U.S. Space Program in the fall of 1990. The purpose of
this independent committee was to advise the NASA administrator on overall
approaches NASA management can use to implement the U.S. space program for
the coming decades. The committee produced a report in 120 days containing
14 specific recommendations, the first of which stated "that the civil
space science program should have first priority for NASA resources...."
Mr. Augustine will discuss the findings and recommendations of the
committee and the relationship of the civil space program to the vigor of
U.S. science and industrial competitiveness.

[Note: This is not an official notice - I'm just posting it as an item of
general interest. Registration is now required because all government
facilities have tightened security as a result of the current situation.
If you are not a government employee and don't get the proper prior
permission, they won't let you in - sorry. I will make a strong effort to
attend, and post notes on the talk. - JWR]
