RELEASE: 98-78
"We are at a crucial time for NASA, the Nation and the world
in aerospace technology," Goldin said. "We have the traditional
aeronautics research and we have the technologies that are
emerging from the efforts in space transportation. NASA needs to
fully integrate the two to get the leverage and synergy needed if
we are to be the future aerospace leader. I've chosen Sam
Armstrong because he has the technical background and proven
track record as a leader. He has my complete backing to make this
happen through organizational changes within the enterprise and
through cooperation with other government agencies, the aerospace
industry and the international community."
From July 1983 to July 1985 he was Chief of the U.S. Military

Air Force Military Training Center, San Antonio, TX; Deputy Chief
of Staff for Technical Training, Air Training Command; Deputy
Director for Space and C3, DCS Research, Development, and
Acquisition, Headquarters USAF, the Pentagon; Assistant Deputy
Chief of Staff for Operations, Air Training Command; Commander,
80th Flying Training Wing, Sheppard Air Force Base, TX; Base
