    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.

    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.

    2009 Baylor University Poage-Mayborn Washington Internship Program Dr. James A. Curry, Director The 2009 Poage-Mayborn Washington Seminar convened in Washington, D.C., on June 18-19, 2009. This annual two-day seminar is named for longtime Central Texas Congressman W.R. (Bob) Poage and for civic leader and publisher Mr. Frank W. Mayborn. The event is supported and made possible by Mrs. Sue Mayborn, President of the Mayborn Foundation of Temple, Texas, and by Baylor University. The seminar is the cornerstone of the Baylor University Washington Internship Program, which offers students the opportunity to earn academic credit for an internship. Students work in various offices and agencies in Washington, D.C., including Capitol Hill, the White House, executive agencies, consulting firms, non-profit organizations, and others. The 2009 seminar focused on the wide variety of oppor-tunities available in Washington, with emphasis on legislative, executive, and private sector venues. The 2009 Poage-Mayborn Seminar set an all-time record for Baylor University interns. Twenty-six current Baylor students will intern in Washington, D.C. this summer, and most attended the seminar. The 2009 Baylor University students and their place of internship are: Baronet, Ashley (Atlantic Video) Blackburn, Stephanie (Rep.

In 2004, he was selected by his colleagues to be the chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce—the oldest standing legislative House com- mittee. Congressman Barton was the first Texan since former House Speaker Sam Rayburn to chair this important committee. The Energy & Commerce Committee has arguably the broadest non tax-oriented jurisdiction of any congressional committee, with principal House responsibility over matters relating to commerce, public health and marketplace interests. Congressman Barton cur- rently serves as the ranking Republican of the Committee on En- ergy and Commerce in the 110th Congress. The ‘‘House GOP’s leading expert on energy policy’’ (Wall Street Journal, October 2002), Congressman Barton has led the House charge to pass comprehensive national energy policy legislation. In the past two congresses, he has shared authorship of the two most comprehensive energy policy packages to pass in the House since the 1930s.
