“I had the opportunity to meet with Gen. Charles Bolden and Lori Garver, who both have distinguished careers and are extremely qualified individuals to serve as administrator and deputy administrator of NASA. I pledged to give them my full support in the Senate and will do everything I can to ensure a quick confirmation process so we can have quality leadership in place at NASA. I also reiterated how important it is that Johnson Space Center remain at the forefront of manned-space travel, that it continues as an integral part of NASA’s mission, and that workforce training be a priority as well,” Sen. Cornyn said.
