LIVINGSTONE APPOINTED TO NEW NASA POSITION


     NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin today announced the 
appointment of Bill Livingstone as Special Assistant to the 
Administrator for Communications.

     "Bill Livingstone, who has worked with the media nationwide, 
brings to the agency a broad array of experience and talent," 
Goldin said.  "He joins the new team at NASA, which is dedicated 
to making the agency faster, better, cheaper, without compromising 
safety."

   For the past 7 years, Livingstone was Press Secretary for then 
U.S. Senator and now Governor Pete Wilson (R-Calif.).  Previously 
Livingstone was Press Secretary for U.S. Senator Jim McClure 
(R-Idaho).  He also was the Press Secretary for Wilson's 
gubernatorial election in 1990, and McClure's re-election in 1984.

     Livingstone was born in Helena, Mont.  He received a B.S. 
from Montana State University (honors) and attended graduate 
school at the University of Southern California in motion picture 
production and the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy in 
international relations.
