VINCENT NAMED ACTING PUBLIC AFFAIRS HEAD

	NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin today announced the
appointment, effective immediately, of Geoffrey H. Vincent as Acting
Associate Administrator for Public Affairs.

	On Jan. 21, the White House accepted the resignations of William A.
Livingstone and Sue Mathis Richard, the Associate Administrator and Deputy
Associate Administrator for Public Affairs, respectively.  Both were non-
career executives who served at the pleasure of the President.  Their last
day at NASA was Jan. 22.

     "Bill and Sue have provided outstanding service to NASA and to me
personally," Goldin told a meeting of the Headquarters Public Affairs staff on
Jan. 22.  "I extend to them my sincerest gratitude for their dedication and
enthusiasm."  Livingstone came to NASA in May 1992; Richard in April
1990.

     Vincent currently is Director of the Program Management Division in the
Office of Public Affairs, where he oversees resources, administrative
services, Freedom of Information requests and coordinates issues among
various parts of the Public Affairs organization.  He joined NASA in December
1987 and served as a Public Affairs Officer and Special Assistant to the
Associate Administrator for Public Affairs before assuming his current
position.

     Prior to coming to NASA, Vincent served for 4 years as a public affairs
officer for the Department of the Navy.  He also spent 5 years reporting on
legislative, regulatory and political issues for various Washington-based
newsletters.  He received a B.A. degree from George Washington University
and a M.A. degree in journalism from the University of Missouri.
