Washington, D.C. – Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee that funds NASA, today released the following statement concerning the conclusion of an independent review of NASA’s security protocols:

“Last year, after learning of security violations at NASA’s Ames and Langley research centers, I called on Administrator Bolden to commission a comprehensive, independent review of the agency’s security, export control and access to NASA property by foreign nationals.

“I appreciate that Administrator Bolden moved quickly on this request and selected the National Academy of Public Administration to conduct this review.  The team was led by former Governor and Attorney General Dick Thornburgh and included a group of experts in security policy.
