GOLDIN ANNOUNCES PERSONNEL ACTIONS AT HEADQUARTERS

     NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin today announced that
Paul F. Holloway, in addition to his responsibilities as
Director of Langley Research Center (LaRC), Hampton, Va.,
temporarily will be assigned to NASA Headquarters as a
special assistant to the Administrator.

     "Paul has a distinguished record of service with NASA
and has provided unparalleled leadership at Langley.  I'm
very pleased to announce his new position as special
assistant at Headquarters, where he will be intimately
involved with the day-to-day operations of the agency," said
Goldin.

     Holloway was appointed Director of LaRC in October 1991,
where he was responsible for the Center's aeronautical and
space research programs, as well as facilities and
administration of the center's 3,000 civil service employees.
Prior to his appointment as Director, he was Deputy Director
of Langley since 1985.

     He joined the Langley staff in 1960 as an aerospace
research engineer and served in various positions including
Chief, Space Systems Div. and Director for Space.  His
research work has been in hypersonic aerodynamics, boundary
layer transition and flow separation, analysis of entry
flight mechanisms and Earth orbital and planetary space
missions.

     He earned a bachelor's of science degree in aeronautical
engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 1960 and
did graduate study in physics at the College of William and
Mary.  He is a Fellow of the American Institute of
Aeronautics and Astronautics and the American Aeronautical
Society.

Assistant Administrator for Procurement

     Goldin also announced today that Don G. Bush, Assistant
Administrator for Procurement, would be leaving the agency on
Jan. 11, 1993.  Bush, who joined the agency in 1990 after
numerous assignments in the Defense Department, plans to
pursue opportunities in the private sector.

     "Don has done an outstanding job as the Assistant
Administrator for Procurement, forging ahead NASA's
procurement reform program that began about 18 months ago.
Clearly the agency will miss him," said Goldin.

     "My association with the procurement professionals at
NASA has been a very rewarding experience," said Bush.  "I
will miss being with them for the exciting times as many of
my favorite procurement initiatives come to fruition.  But,
there comes a time when one must move on to other interests."

     Prior to his appointment as NASA Assistant Administrator
for Procurement, Bush held positions as Special Assistant and
the Deputy Assistant Administrator for Procurement.

     Before joining NASA, he served on active duty with the
U.S. Air Force in all aspects of contracting and
manufacturing operations, holding various procurement
assignments within the Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) and
at AFLC Headquarters in base level procurement and central
procurement policy.  He served as an administrative
contracting officer in Thailand and then as Head of
Production for Defense Contract Administration Services for
the state of Wisconsin.

   After an assignment as Procuring Contracting Officer and
Director of Subsystems in the A-10 Aircraft Systems Program
Office, he returned to AFLC to head their major
program/policy acquisition strategy office.  He subsequently
served in the Pentagon as Head of Major Weapon System
Contract Policy and as Deputy Director of Contracting and
Manufacturing Policy in the Office of the Assistant Secretary
for Acquisition.

     Bush earned a bachelor's of science degree in industrial
engineering from the University of Kentucky and a master's of
science degree in logistics management from the Air Force
Institute of Technology.
