Ex-Rep. Lampson not headed to top NASA job, Houston Chronicle
“Former Rep. Nick Lampson said Tuesday he is no longer a contender for the $177,000-a-year NASA administrator post. The Stafford Democrat, who lost his seat in a predominantly Republican district in southeastern Texas last fall, told the Houston Chronicle that White House officials had “not made any kind of offer” after approaching him about the post. “I understand this (selection) is not easy. It is a slow, deliberate process,” Lampson said in a telephone interview. “But at the same time, I feel comfortable in moving on with my life. That is what I’ve done.”
