NASA VISION REPLACES HQB

With One NASA as our new mantra, the HQ Bulletin (HQB) has been
redesigned and renamed, effectively creating a new publication,
the NASA Vision. Like the HQB, NASA Vision will continue to
highlight awards and events at Headquarters, but will also
include expanded coverage of news throughout the Agency. Copies
of this new publication will be delivered to HQ offices this
week. To access NASA Vision online, see
