The Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP) will present
its annual report to NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin at 1
p.m. EST on Thursday, Feb. 10, 2000, at NASA Headquarters.
The report will be presented to the Administrator in the
Program Review Center, room 9H40, NASA Headquarters, 300 E
Street SW, Washington, DC.

Each year, the panel reviews and evaluates current and
future NASA programs and activities and reports its findings
to the Administrator in a public session. Priority is given
to programs that involve the safety of human flight.

Following the Apollo spacecraft fire on Jan. 27, 1967,
Congress enacted legislation to establish the ASAP as a
senior advisory committee to NASA.

The ASAP report will be available at 1 p.m. via the
World Wide Web at:
