Statement on the Death of Mike Synar
January 9, 1996
Hillary and I were deeply saddened to learn this morning of the death of former Oklahoma Congressman Mike Synar. Mike Synar was a brave and unflinching public servant who in tough political times remained true to his principles. He did not always do what was popular, but he always did what he thought was right— for Oklahoma and for America. Throughout his life, and especially during the past 6 months, Mike Synar was a true profile in courage.
Hillary and I will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends at this difficult time.

RELEASE: 02-171
NASA ANNOUNCES CONTRACT FOR NEXT-GENERATION SPACE TELESCOPE NAMED AFTER SPACE PIONEER
NASA today selected TRW, Redondo Beach, Calif., to build a next-generation successor to the Hubble Space Telescope in honor of the man who led NASA in the early days of the fledgling aerospace agency.
The space-based observatory will be known as the James Webb Space Telescope, named after James E. Webb, NASA's second administrator. While Webb is best known for leading Apollo and a series of lunar exploration programs that landed the first humans on the Moon, he also initiated a vigorous space science program, responsible for more than 75 launches during his tenure, including America's first interplanetary explorers.
"It is fitting that Hubble's successor be named in honor of James Webb. Thanks to his efforts, we got our first glimpses at the dramatic landscapes of outer space," said NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe. "He took our nation on its first voyages of exploration, turning our imagination into reality. Indeed, he laid the foundations at NASA for one of the most successful periods of astronomical discovery. As a result, we're rewriting the textbooks today with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-ray Observatory and, in 2010, the James Webb Telescope."
The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in 2010 aboard an expendable launch vehicle. It will take about three months for the spacecraft to reach its destination, an orbit 940,000 miles or 1.5 million kilometers in space, called the second Lagrange Point or L2, where the spacecraft is balanced between the gravity of the Sun and the Earth.
Unlike Hubble, space shuttle astronauts will not service the James Webb Space Telescope because it will be too far away.
The most important advantage of this L2 orbit is that a single-sided sun shield on only one side of the observatory can protect Webb from the light and heat of both the Sun and Earth. As a result, the observatory can be cooled to very low temperatures without the use of complicated refrigeration equipment. These low temperatures are required to prevent the Webb's own heat radiation from exceeding the brightness of the distant cool astronomical objects.
Before and during launch, the mirror will be folded up. Once the telescope is placed in its orbit, ground controllers will send a message telling the telescope to unfold its high-tech mirror petals.
To see into the depths of space, the James Webb Space Telescope is currently planned to carry instruments that are sensitive to the infrared wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. The new telescope will carry a near-infrared camera, a multi-object spectrometer and a mid-infrared camera/spectrometer.
The James Webb Space Telescope will be able to look deeper into the universe than Hubble because of the increased light-collecting power of its larger mirror and the extraordinary sensitivity of its instruments to infrared light. Webb's primary mirror will be at least 20 feet in diameter, providing much more light gathering capability than Hubble's eight-foot primary mirror.
The telescope's infrared capabilities are required to help astronomers understand how galaxies first emerged out of the darkness that followed the rapid expansion and cooling of the universe just a few hundred million years after the big bang. The light from the youngest galaxies is seen in the infrared due to the universe's expansion.
Looking closer to home, the James Webb Space Telescope will probe the formation of planets in disks around young stars, and study supermassive black holes in other galaxies.
Under the terms of the contract valued at $824.8 million, TRW will design and fabricate the observatory's primary mirror and spacecraft. TRW also will be responsible for integrating the science instrument module into the spacecraft as well as performing the pre-flight testing and on-orbit checkout of the observatory.
The Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., manages the James Webb Space Telescope for the Office of Space Science at NASA Headquarters in Washington. The program has a number of industry, academic and government partners, as well as the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency.

NASA Orders a Powerful New Space Observatory
Aerospace: TRW wins an $825-million contract for a telescope to be built in the Southland.
September 11, 2002 PETER PAE TIMES STAFF WRITER
TRW Inc. was selected by NASA on Tuesday to build a new space telescope, a high-profile scientific project that represents an endorsement of Southern California's leadership in the space industry.
The new observatory--to be 10 times more powerful than the existing Hubble Space Telescope it will replace--will allow astronomers to peer deeper into the cosmos than ever before.
Scientists hope to use the capability to understand what happened after the big bang that created the universe.
TRW engineers have designed a telescope that will orbit the sun about a million miles from Earth. Rather than a single mirror, the new telescope will have 36 mirrors forming a single 20-foot-diameter array.
Although the $825-million contract is not large by aerospace industry standards, it is among the most prestigious programs in the space business. TRW would build the telescope at its Redondo Beach plant, which has 9,000 employees.
"Besides the space station, it's probably NASA's biggest scientific project for the next 10 years," said Marco Caceres, senior space analyst for Teal Group, an aerospace research firm in Fairfax, Va.
In the last three months, TRW has won three major satellite programs and in recent years other Southern California firms have several awards that have further solidified the region's role in the space industry.
The importance of the TRW award is reflected in the achievements of the Hubble, launched in 1990 into an orbit 375 miles above Earth.
It has provided stunning photographs of galaxies and insights into the beginning of the universe.
TRW's next-generation space telescope is expected to replace Hubble by 2010 and provide what scientists hope will be clues to how galaxies formed.
In awarding the contract, NASA officials named the telescope after James E. Webb, who directed the Apollo missions that eventually landed the first astronauts on the moon.
TRW beat Lockheed Martin Corp. for the contract. The entire program is expected to cost $1.3 billion, including future contracts for electronic sensors.
NASA hopes to keep the cost well under the $2-billion price tag for Hubble, which has operated for 12 years and is expected to last 10 more years.
The telescope is designed to last five years, though NASA hopes to be able to extend its lifespan.
The company anticipates hiring 400 engineers for the project.
In the last year, TRW has won several major government contracts.
Two weeks ago, the company won the largest satellite production contract in its history, a $6.5-billion program to build a new fleet of primary weather-monitoring satellites for joint military and civil use.
Just a three months earlier, the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency selected TRW to oversee a $6-billion satellite system to track enemy ballistic missiles.
"This is probably one of TRW's best years ever," Caceres said. "I can't recall a year where they have won so many major contracts in a relatively short time, and they've basically beaten the industry leaders in doing it."
Cleveland-based TRW is in the process of being acquired by Northrop Grumman Corp., which has its headquarters in Century City.
The TRW contracts add to work underway at Boeing Co. facilities in El Segundo and Seal Beach where the company is developing supersecret spy satellites for the Pentagon, which intelligence analysts estimate could be worth up to $25 billion over two decades.
Boeing's El Segundo complex is the world's largest commercial satellite maker.
In addition to TRW and Boeing, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena produces the nation's deep space probes.
Aerospace analysts said the TRW project is "pushing the scientific envelop in several different ways," including placing a spacecraft in a permanent orbit around the sun.
After its launch on an expendable rocket, probably Lockheed Martin's new Atlas V, the spacecraft will take three months to reach its destination about 940,000 miles from Earth.
Positioned at so-called second Lagrange Point, the spacecraft will be able to literally hover in space, balanced between the gravity of the sun and Earth.
Once in position, the spacecraft will unfurl a sun shade about the size of a tennis court.
A fiber shield will protect the mirrors from the light and heat of both the sun and the Earth.
The infrared sensors will be cooled to very low temperatures without the use of complicated refrigeration equipment, NASA said.
"It's not like Hubble at all," said Charles Vick, chief space policy analyst for the Federation of American Scientists. "The design approach is very, very unique, and frankly I don't comprehend it myself."
Shielded from light, the telescope will be able to detect with more precision and clarity the first objects to emerge after the big bang, NASA said. Some of the objects date back 12 billion to 13 billion years but astronomers aren't quite sure what these objects might be.

September 11, 2002 PETER PAE TIMES STAFF WRITER
Even though the Hubble telescope is a significant improvement from earthbound observatories that are hindered by the atmospheric distortion, it has been unable to see the earliest objects.
And although the Hubble is now considered an important contributor to astronomy, it wasn't without major problems in its early days. The first images it sent back to Earth were fuzzy because its mirror had been improperly ground and polished.
Since 1993, space shuttle astronauts have worked on the Hubble four times. While the Hubble cost about $2 billion to develop and launch, analysts believe an additional $4 billion has been spent operating and repairing it.
By contrast, TRW's telescope positioned so far from Earth could not be repaired if something goes awry, raising some anxiety among NASA watchers. "We are not going to have manned access to do the repairs and the refurbishment like we did with the Hubble, which is a serious issue," Vick said. "A lot of people are going to be chewing their fingernails."
TRW executives are a bit more confident, citing their experience developing other successful spacecraft including the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. But they acknowledge the challenge of the telescope's design.
"It's pretty stunning what this mission will do compared to the Hubble," said Tim Hannemann, chief executive of TRW's Space & Electronics unit in Redondo Beach. "This will be a real breakthrough."

XLII President of the United States: 1993-2001
Excerpts of Remarks on Nickelodeon's "Clearing the Air: Kids Talk to the President About Smoking"
January 9, 1996
Linda Ellerbee. How can a kid ask a grownup to stop smoking?
The President. Oh, I think directly. I think children should not be self-conscious about that. I can tell you, you know, Chelsea did some very blunt things to her grandmother. She said, "You ever seen a picture of a lung where people have smoked for years, as against the picture of a lung where people haven't?" I mean, very straightforward stuff.
Ms. Ellerbee. Did it work?
The President. It worked. It took a few years, but it worked finally. On my daughter's 8th birthday, her grandmother's present was that she quit smoking.
Ms. Ellerbee. Mr. President, do you have any final thoughts for kids on this issue?
The President. You young people cannot believe the potential influence you can have. You can ask adults the kind of hard questions you asked me. You can encourage every adult you care about and love to stop smoking. You can make it so that the cool thing to do is not to smoke instead of to smoke.
And you know, none of us are going to live forever, but you have the choice to maximize, to increase the chances of your living a long and full life. This is a choice you can make. The smoking choice is a choice you can make. It's totally within your control.
And I just want to encourage you. I'll do what I can, but I want to encourage you to do everything you can to get everybody you know to remain smoke free. I think that is— that's the answer. And you can do it. We can change this country if we do it together.
NOTE: The President's remarks were recorded at 12:10 p.m. on December 12, 1995, for broadcast at 8 p.m. on January 9. Linda Ellerbee hosted Nickelodeon cable television's "Nick News" program.

Hubble Directly Measures Rotation of Cloudy 'Super-Jupiter'
The full news release story:
Hubble Directly Measures Rotation of Cloudy 'Super-Jupiter'
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have measured the rotation rate of an extreme exoplanet by observing the varied brightness in its atmosphere. This is the first measurement of the rotation of a massive exoplanet using direct imaging.
"The result is very exciting," said Daniel Apai of the University of Arizona in Tucson, leader of the Hubble investigation. "It gives us a unique technique to explore the atmospheres of exoplanets and to measure their rotation rates."
The planet, called 2M1207b, is about four times more massive than Jupiter and is dubbed a "super-Jupiter." It is a companion to a failed star known as a brown dwarf, orbiting the object at a distance of 5 billion miles. By contrast, Jupiter is approximately 500 million miles from the sun. The brown dwarf is known as 2M1207. The system resides 170 light-years away from Earth.
Hubble's image stability, high resolution, and high-contrast imaging capabilities allowed astronomers to precisely measure the planet's brightness changes as it spins. The researchers attribute the brightness variation to complex clouds patterns in the planet's atmosphere. The new Hubble measurements not only verify the presence of these clouds, but also show that the cloud layers are patchy and colorless.
Astronomers first observed the massive exoplanet 10 years ago with Hubble. The observations revealed that the exoplanet's atmosphere is hot enough to have "rain" clouds made of silicates: vaporized rock that cools down to form tiny particles with sizes similar to those in cigarette smoke. Deeper into the atmosphere, iron droplets are forming and falling like rain, eventually evaporating as they enter the lower levels of the atmosphere.
"So at higher altitudes it rains glass, and at lower altitudes it rains iron," said Yifan Zhou of the University of Arizona, lead author on the research paper. "The atmospheric temperatures are between about 2,200 to 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit."
The super-Jupiter is so hot that it appears brightest in infrared light. Astronomers used Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 to analyze the exoplanet in infrared light to explore the object's cloud cover and measure its rotation rate. The planet is hot because it is only about 10 million years old and is still contracting and cooling. For comparison, Jupiter in our solar system is about 4.5 billion years old.
The planet, however, will not maintain these sizzling temperatures. Over the next few billion years, the object will cool and fade dramatically. As its temperature decreases, the iron and silicate clouds will also form lower and lower in the atmosphere and will eventually disappear from view.
Zhou and his team have also determined that the super-Jupiter completes one rotation approximately every 10 hours, spinning at about the same fast rate as Jupiter.
This super-Jupiter is only about five to seven times less massive than its brown-dwarf host. By contrast, our sun is about 1,000 times more massive than Jupiter. "So this is a very good clue that the 2M1207 system we studied formed differently than our own solar system," Zhou explained. The planets orbiting our sun formed inside a circumstellar disk through accretion. But the super-Jupiter and its companion may have formed throughout the gravitational collapse of a pair of separate disks.
"Our study demonstrates that Hubble and its successor, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, will be able to derive cloud maps for exoplanets, based on the light we receive from them," Apai said. Indeed, this super-Jupiter is an ideal target for the Webb telescope, an infrared space observatory scheduled to launch in 2018. Webb will help astronomers better determine the exoplanet's atmospheric composition and derive detailed maps from brightness changes with the new technique demonstrated with the Hubble observations.
Results from this study will appear in the Feb. 18, 2016, edition of The Astrophysical Journal.
