Aldridge Commission To Release Space Exploration Recommendations NEW DATE

Commission spokeswoman Susan Flowers said the report will be presented to the public at 11 a.m. on Thursday, June 10 at George Washington University�s Jack Morton Auditorium, the same auditorium used by CNN to broadcast its nightly debate program "Crossfire."
