Temporary NASA Leaders Appointed by Obama	01.26.2009 19:45

Ok, it's not astronomical out-of-this-world, but NASA does explore the universe. NASA employees were sent an email notifying that the Obama administration chose several interim leaders to manage, taking effect immediately. The email details these appointees as follows: Christopher Scolese, NASA's associate administrator, will serve as acting administrator until a successor to Michael Griffin has been nominated by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Ronald Spoehel, NASA's chief financial officer and a political appointee from the previous Administration, has been asked to continue in his present position. Several other posts usually held by political appointees will have acting leaders until the positions are filled by the Administration. Mary D. Kerwin, deputy assistant administrator for the Office of Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs, will serve as acting chief of the Office of Strategic Communications and the acting assistant administrator for the Office of Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs. Robert Jacobs, deputy assistant administrator for the Office of Public Affairs, will serve as the office's acting assistant administrator. Kristen Erickson, deputy director of the Communications Planning Division of the Office of Strategic Communications, will serve as the acting division director. These are the individuals who will be directing the exploration and discovery of everything extraterrestrial by the United States.
