Griffin Statement on Astronaut Health Report

Message From the NASA Administrator – July 30, 2007: Astronaut Health Report

“At the same time, however, our policy has been to say very little publicly until we know more. If you saw the press conference, I am sure you realize that the report was assembled from anecdotal information, unverified by the committee and, indeed, not documented in a way that would allow us to pursue the cited incidents to closure. This does not mean that the claims made in the report are untrue, but it does necessitate a “go slow” approach on our part regarding any public statements we might make.”
