AEROSPACE SAFETY ADVISORY PANEL TO PRESENT REPORT TO NASA

     The Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP) will present its
annual report to NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin at 1 p.m. EST
on Thursday, Feb. 4, 1999, at NASA Headquarters. The report will
be presented to the Administrator in the Program Review Center,
room 9H40, NASA Headquarters, 300 E Street S.W., Washington, DC.

     Each year, the panel reviews and evaluates current and future
NASA programs and activities and reports its findings to the
Administrator in a public session.  Priority is given to programs
that involve the safety of human flight.

     Following the Apollo spacecraft fire on Jan. 27, 1967,
Congress enacted legislation to establish the ASAP as a senior
advisory committee to NASA.

     The ASAP report will be available at 1 p.m. via the World
Wide Web at:
