Obama Names OMB Director, Washington Post

“[Peter R.] Orszag, 39, is director of the Congressional Budget Office, where he oversees a staff of 235 people who produce nonpartisan analyses of economic and policy issues. Orszag is widely respected for his work on how Americans receive medical care. Unlike many of his predecessors, who hewed closely to pure number-crunching, Orszag has carved out a niche as a leading international thinker on health policy.”

CBO: An Analysis of NASA’s Plans for Continuing Human Spaceflight After Retiring the Space Shuttle

“For the 10-mission manifest, the probability that NASA can retire the space shuttle fleet by September 2010, in CBO’s estimation, is between 20 percent and 60 percent. (The lower boundary of that confidence interval results from using the assumption that the probability of launching the shuttle without a minor delay is 80 percent; the higher end of the range derives from the assumption of a 94 percent probability of a minor delay.)”
