Goldin to Resign from NASA
After nearly ten years as the head of America's space program, NASA's longest-serving Administrator, Daniel S. Goldin, has announced his resignation, effective November 17, 2001. He also announced he has accepted an interim position as a Senior Fellow for the Council on Competitiveness in Washington D.C., as he transitions into the private sector.
Goldin was appointed NASA Administrator April 1, 1992, by President George H.W. Bush. While no replacement has been selected, Goldin says he will work with the Administration before he leaves office to identify an interim Acting Administrator.
