    Remarks by the Honorable Sean O’Keefe NASA Administrator Apollo 11 Anniversary Event Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum July 20, 2004 Good evening ladies and gentlemen. It is a great privilege to be in this shrine to aviation and spaceflight achievement in the presence of America's first great generation of space explorers, those who made their epic voyages possible, and of our current astronauts and the NASA team members who will enable humanity's next momentous steps in space as Dr. Marburger (Presidential Science Advisory Dr. Jack Marburger) just so eloquently discussed. There are so many great friends here from Congress who been very, very important in our quest to make this next great step feasible. Senator Bill Nelson, Congressmen Ralph Hall, Nick Lampson, Sheila Jackson Lee, Mike McIntyre, Mike Pence, Vic Snyder, Dave Weldon, Bob Aderholt, Chairman of 1 the Science Committee Sherry Boehlert, Sam Johnson, Tom Feeney, Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee Chairman Dana Rohrabacher and Juliane Sullivan who is here representing Majority Leader Tom DeLay. We are delighted for their participation, their help, their enthusiasm for I think the importance of this evening's event, as well as for our continued quest forward. I doubt there are any historical parallels to our good fortune here. Certainly, no records exist of people living in Lisbon 500 years ago attending a candlelit tribute to Amerigo Vespucci, Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan, who was about to set forth on his voyage to circle the globe. Yet here we are, in the midst of another great age of exploration, thrilled to have under one roof so many heroes who've sailed over the far horizon to the shores of space and back, including to a dusty Sea named Tranquility.

  • Loan-Shark-Financed Campaigns Threaten Payday-Loan Reform
    Loan-Shark-F inanced Loan-Shark-F inanced CCaammppaaiiggnnss TThh rreeaatteenn PPaayyddaayy--LLooaann RReeffoorrmm Texans for Public Justice ** www.tpj.org ** March 2011 Loan-Shark-Financed Campaigns Threaten Payday-Loan Reform Did all I can do and I can't get along with you. I'm gonna take you to your mama, pay day. –Mississippi John Hurt The unregulated industry that gouges working-class Texans with obscene interest rates on small loans again is fighting proposed regulations. Although Texas prohibits usurious interest rates, the industry dodges these protections by organizing as unregulated middlemen. These so-called “credit service organizations” link borrowers to lenders who are subject to interest rate caps. When the unregulated middlemen tack on their exorbitant fees, however, loans secured by paychecks or car titles can carry annual effective interest rates exceeding 1,000 percent. Texas now has more than 3,000 outlets for these lucrative loans, with pawnshops and even rental centers getting into a piece of the action. Fantastic returns are worth defending. Just in the two-year 2010 election cycle the industry contributed $1,369,542 to Texas politicians. If the payday industry lent out this same $1.4 million at 1,000 percent interest over the two-year election cycle, it could have grossed $166 million. That’s how much these lenders care about their loophole. Democratic Senator Wendy Davis has led attempts to regulate the industry. Her Senate Bill 253 would eliminate the loophole for credit service organizations, subjecting them to state usury laws and prohibiting fee-intensive rollovers of these loans. Jay Shipowitz, president of Irving-based Ace Cash Express, recently testified that, “If this bill is passed, we will be forced to shut our stores in Texas.”1 Five other lawmakers, including former Speaker Tom Craddick, have introduced similar reform bills.2 Republican Rep.

  • Commentators Bring Personality, Experiences to the Texas Daily Will Drive the Unique Mix of News, Opinion and Audience Interaction
    For immediate release Commentators Bring Personality, Experiences to The Texas Daily Will drive the unique mix of news, opinion and audience interaction ADDISON, TEXAS (Sept. 20, 2012)—The countdown is on for the Oct. 1 launch of The Texas Daily, KTXD-TV’s new morning show that mixes news, opinion and audience interaction weekday mornings from 8-9. The real production coup, however, are the 14 people currently slated to inform and entertain us – 14 of Dallas’ best-loved former anchors and journalists from the past three decades. “Jeff Brady is hosting this cast of professional journalists,” says Brian Joyce, KTXD-TV station manager. “Don’t expect them to simply read copy from a teleprompter. Jeff will introduce topics that our commentators will offer their personal opinion on. This format goes beyond the traditional noon, 6 and 10 newscasts.” As host, Brady will anchor the program every day, while the other 13 contributors rotate through, two at a time, per show. Below are the backgrounds that shape the opinions our commentators will offer their Baby Boomer audience: Jeff Brady, formerly of WFAA: A proud Aggie, Jeff served the country as a USMC Marine Corps Captain and is a veteran of the Persian Gulf War. Before landing in Dallas at WFAA, he covered politics, crime, military and human interest stories in Yuma, Ariz., Tyler and San Antonio, Texas, and Shreveport, La. He and his wife have three young children. Interesting fact: He almost went to seminary. Gary Cogill, formerly with WFAA: In his 24-year career as a movie critic for WFAA, Gary reviewed more than 10,000 films and interviewed more than 20,000 actors, writers and directors including Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Stephen Spielberg and Clint Eastwood.

Kennedy spoke at two events in Fort Worth that morning and left Fort Worth for Dallas at 12:30 EST. 12:00PM Boston University Social Sciences Professor Thomas Whalen about the political aspects of the Texas trip and the first reports of the shots being fired at the Kennedy motorcade which left Love Field in Dallas right around 1 pm EST, passing the Texas School Book Depository at 1:30 EST. The first United Press International bulletin saying shots had been fired at the president’s motorcade cleared the wire at 1:34 EST. 1:00PM History Channel Scholar In Residence and University of Oklahoma History Professor Steve Gillon about the story that was breaking in Dallas during this hour on November 22, 1963. Reporters were hearing from sources that Kennedy was dead. When that was finally confirmed Walter Cronkite delivered the news to a national TV audience at 2:38 EST. Gillon is an expert on Lee Harvey Oswald and at this hour on November 22nd 1963 the world didn’t know his name but the cashier at the Texas Theater in Dallas reported a man acting suspiciously had just entered the theater.
