NASA Administrator James M. Beggs announced today that JSC was named "lead center" for the agency's Space Station Program. In a letter to center director Gerald D. Griffin, Beggs said that he was requesting the center to form a program office to execute five basic program responsibilities: systems engineering and integration, business management, operations integration, customer integration, and support of NASA Headquarters Space Station Program Office.

Beggs noted that he planned to form a new organization at NASA Head-quarters to direct the Space Station Program and that he would make assignments to other centers under overall project management of JSC.

Terry White, a NASA spokesman in Houston, said that space station work would probably not require a large increase in personnel there because people working on the Space Shuttle program would shift over to the Space Station, the New York Times reported.
