NASA TO ANNOUNCE MULTIMEDIA PARTNERSHIP

     NASA and its newest commercial partner will announce a major 
multimedia collaboration next week.

     The unprecedented public-private partnership for multimedia 
and space imagery will be discussed at a news conference 
originating from the main auditorium (Bldg. N201) at NASA's Ames 
Research Center, Mountain View, CA, at 10 a.m. PDT on June 2.

     Speakers will include NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin and 
Associate Administrator for Space Flight Joe Rothenberg.  
Reporters wishing to ask questions should plan to do so in person 
at the Ames auditorium.  Although the press conference will be 
carried live on NASA Television, there will be no interactive 
questions and answers from other NASA centers.
