The U.S. Defense Department is bracing for another round of base closings (Science, 30 May 2003, p. 1361), and NASA may be laying the groundwork for a similar exercise involving its research labs. This winter NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe appointed Washington, D.C., consultant and former Navy official William Cassidy to chair a panel looking at ways the agency can save money by streamlining operations. Dubbed the Real Property Mission Analysis team, the group will produce an interim report this summer and a final report by the end of the year. One target will be the research labs and equipment scattered throughout NASA's nine centers. "While scientists are worrying about Hubble, a dozen of us are looking at these science facilities," says one committee member.
