During his trip to Houston, O’Keefe will be introduced by House Majority
Whip Tom DeLay. The two met Dec. 4 in the Representative’s Washington
office.

Space Center facilities. O’Keefe will be available to speak briefly with

O’Keefe was sworn in Dec. 21 as the agency’s 10th chief, following his
confirmation by the U.S. Senate on Dec. 20. President George W. Bush
nominated him for the position Nov. 14.
