Griffin Moves from Designee to Nominee

Editor’s note: NASA Watch has learned that Mike Griffin has now made the transition from NASA Administrator designee to nominee with the transmittal of the formal nomination paper work and notification of the U.S. Senate. It is uncertain whether there will be a formal White House event to announce Griffin’s nomination since the White House has already issued a statement and the process is now well underway to have him confirmed. No date has been set yet for his confirmation hearings.
