  • Address by NASA Administrator Sean O'keefe
    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.

  • Curriculum Vitæ
    Revised August 2020 PETE P. GALLEGO PROFILE A native of Alpine and graduate of Sul Ross State University, Pete Gallego is a trained mediator with over 25 years of public service and both legal and legislative experience. Licensed to practice law in Texas since 1986, he holds a Juris Doctor degree from The University of Texas School of Law (1985) and a Bachelor's degree from Sul Ross (1982). Gallego has tried numerous civil and criminal cases during his career as a prosecutor and insurance defense attorney. Gallego comes from a local family of high achievers. His parents were the first in their families to attend college and receive degrees. One of his sisters was the first Latin/x graduate of Alpine High School to become a licensed attorney and the other to finish medical school and become a licensed physician. In 1990, Gallego also became the first Latin/x elected to the Texas House from District 74, a district containing much of the US/Mexico border. He is also the only non-Bexar County resident elected to represent Congressional District 23 since the inclusion of Bexar County to District 23 in 1980. He remains the only rural Far West Texan ever elected to serve in the US Congress. A leader, mentor and skilled fundraiser who can implement goals and provide strategic direction, Pete Gallego is accustomed to creating consensus, building and maintaining networks, and navigating complex state/federal law and procedure. His unique background would allow Sul Ross to increase its profile, expand its reach and build its success.

  • Sheila Jackson-Lee Statement
    The University of Houston provided the following statement from Elwyn C. Lee, Jackson Lee's husband. "In response to your inquiry, the University of Houston has received the following Congressional earmarks, either sponsored or co‐sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: FY 2011 Bill: Defense Project: Carbon Composite Thin Films for Power Generation and Energy Storage Amount: $1 million Sponsor: Sheila Jackson Lee FY 2010 Bill: Energy and Water Project: National Wind Energy Center Amount: $2 million Sponsor: Kay Bailey Hutchison, Al Green, Gene Green, Lee Bill: Labor‐HHS Project: Teacher Training and Professional Development Amount: $400,000 Sponsor: Lee FY 2009 Bill: Energy and Water Project: National Wind Energy Center Amount: $2,378,750 Sponsor: Al Green, Gene Green, Lee Bill: Energy and Water Project: Center for Clean Fuels and Power Generation Amount: $475,750 Sponsor: Lee and Ted Poe As best I can recall, I came to UH in January 1978 to teach law. In fall 1989 I took an interim assignment to revive the African American Studies Program. I did that continuously through fall 1990, which was for 3 semesters and a summer. In 1991 I was appointed interim Vice President for Student Affairs and, later that year, Vice President for Student Affairs. In l998 the Vice Chancellorâs title was added. In March 2011 I physically moved into my current office as Vice President for Community Relations & Institutional Access. At no time in any of these positions have I been involved, directly or indirectly, in securing Congressional earmarks for the University of Houston, nor have my duties and responsibilities in any way involved securing Congressional earmarks.
