Actually, I realize Goldin didn't keep his word...but, since there's nothing
I can do about Goldin having lied when he promised to release it, I was just
focussed on getting copies of the report.

I haven't heard any speculation about George W. Bush's plans re: NASA
getting a new administrator and who that might be.  Have you heard anything?
