: Congressman Tom DeLay (R-Sugar Land) yesterday met with President
: Bush's nominee for NASA Administrator, Dr. Michael Griffin, to
: discuss the direction of the agency under Griffin's leadership.
: "The president gave NASA a new mission, the most challenging ever
: attempted by mankind," DeLay said. "With this daring comes great
: reward, and I am committed to continuing the fight to sell the
: president's vision to my colleagues in Congress. With Dr. Griffin
: joining that fight, we can accomplish great things for NASA."
: In yesterday's meeting, DeLay and Griffin both committed to
: supporting one another's efforts to promote President Bush's
: vision. In addition to legislative strategy, the two discussed the
: importance of reaching out to the public on the important work NASA
: is doing and the need for commercialization of space.
: "In order to ensure America moves forward on all fronts
: - technologically, economically, and militarily - we must take the
: president's plan and move forward. Without the new vision, our
: space program will falter," DeLay added. "Dr. Griffin has the
: background and the passion to lead NASA in the right direction, and
: I am excited about his nomination."
: DeLay represents Texas' 22nd District, which encompasses suburban
: Houston and NASA's Johnson Space Center.
