NASA announced the retirement of Jay F. Honeycutt, Director of KSC. A search for Honeycutt's successor began immediately following the announcement. Honeycutt had joined NASA in 1966 after working as an engineer for Redstone Arsenal. He had begun as an engineer in flight operations and had worked at JSC, later training Apollo astronauts for the lunar landings, and had moved to NASA Headquarters in 1981. Honeycutt had transferred to KSC in 1989 as Director of Shuttle Management and Operations and had become Director of KSC in 1995. Honeycutt had won two Exceptional Service Medals, the Special Achievement Award, NASA's Outstanding Leadership Medal, NASA's Equal Employment Opportunity Award, and the Meritorious Executive Presidential Rank Award.
