Foreword

In his autobiography, "Out of My Later Years," Albert Einstein reflectedon effort and attainment and wrote: "The bitter and the sweet come fromthe outside, the hard from within, from one's own efforts,"

Einstein's efforts were aided by a monumental intellect, an inquiring spiritand a formidable ability to synthesize and analyze, indeed, an ability thatwould have had him excel at any problem he attempted to solve.

I doubt if any of us can match Einsrein's intellectual power. But those whowe honor today can claim a kinship with the doggedness of his spirit, whichradiates a faith in individual striving and effort.

We honor you today because you have been true to that spirit. You havegiven your besr. And that is all we will ever ask of anyone who works forNASA.

I congratulate you all. May you continue to reflect and inspire the "can-do"spirit that built our Nation and is the hallmark of our agency.
