KEY OFFICIALS DESIGNATED IN TWO HEADQUARTERS OFFICES


     NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin today announced the 
appointments of key personnel in the Office of Public Affairs and 
the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs.

     Bill Livingstone, who joined NASA last month as Special 
Assistant for Communications, has been appointed Associate 
Administrator for Public Affairs.  For the last 7 years, 
Livingstone served as Press Secretary for then U.S. Senator and 
now Governor Pete Wilson (R-Calif.).  Livingstone succeeds 
William Sheehan, who will retire July 1.  Sheehan came to NASA in 
May 1985 and has been on assignment with the International Media 
Fund for the last year.

     Sue Mathis Richard will serve as Deputy Associate 
Administrator for Public Affairs.  She joined NASA in this 
capacity in April 1990 and has been the acting head of Public 
Affairs throughout Sheehan's absence.

     Goldin also named Lewin S. Warren as Acting Assistant 
Administrator for Equal Opportunity Programs.  He has served as 
Deputy Assistant Administrator in this office since joining the 
agency in April 1980.  Prior to his employment at NASA, he worked 
for 24 years with the Central Intelligence Agency, including 
service as that agency's first Deputy Director for Equal 
Employment Opportunity.

     In addition, Oceola S. Hall was designated Acting Deputy 
Assistant Administrator for Equal Opportunity Programs.  Hall has 
been with NASA for 18 years and has led the agency's 
Discrimination Complaints Division since 1978.  She also has been 
a key member of NASA's Culture Climate and Practices Committee.

     Dr. Harriett Jenkins recently resigned as head of NASA's 
Office of Equal Opportunity Programs to become the first Director 
of the Office of Senate Fair Employment Practices.
