INDEPENDENT SPACE STATION TASK FORCE RELEASES FINAL REPORT

WASHINGTON - The International Space Station Independent Safety Task
Force's final report is now available online. The report was released
simultaneously Tuesday to Congress, NASA and the public.

The Congressionally-mandated task force was chartered last year under
Section 1281 of the NASA Authorization Act of 2005. It was charged
with reviewing the International Space Station program to assess
potential vulnerabilities that could threaten the station or its crew
or lead to it being prematurely abandoned.

"I wish to thank the members of the International Space Station
Independent Safety Task Force for their hard work," said NASA
Administrator Michael Griffin. "At NASA no activity is more important
than safely conducting our space missions, including our
expeditionary missions onboard the International Space Station. I
look forward to reading the task force's report. "
