NASA Administrator Sean O’Keefe will provide an overview
of NASA’s fiscal year 2003 budget request at a press briefing
on Monday, Feb. 4, 2003, at 3 p.m. EST in the James E. Webb
Auditorium at NASA Headquarters, 300 E St., SW, Washington.

NASA management officials will be on hand to answer questions
at the briefing, which will be carried live on NASA Television
with two-way question-and-answer capability for reporters
covering the event from participating NASA centers. Media
representatives planning to cover the briefing at a NASA field
center should check in advance with that center’s newsroom to
ascertain potential badging or escort requirements in light of
new security provisions.

A summary of the budget request will be distributed to media
representatives at the beginning of the press conference. The
budget request also will be available on the NASA Home Page
at: www.nasa.gov
