6/14/93: MALCOLM PETERSON APPOINTED NASA ACTING COMPTROLLER
Donald L. Savage
Headquarters, Washington, D.C. June 14, 1993
RELEASE: 93-112
NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin today announced the appointment of
Malcolm L. Peterson as Acting Comptroller for the agency. Peterson's
appointment follows the retirement last Friday of Acting Comptroller Gary B.
Allison.
Peterson, a NASA employee since 1972, recently led the control/cost
estimating group within the agency's Space Station Redesign Team which last
week submitted its final report to the President's Advisory Committee on the
Redesign of the Space Station.
Since 1989 Peterson was the Director of the Resources Analysis Division in
the Office of the Chief Financial Officer at NASA Headquarters, Washington,
D.C. During that time he was assigned by then Administrator Richard Truly to
the National Space Council for a year, where he conducted various studies
including procurement reforms.
Peterson began his career in federal service in 1969 and in 1972, began
working in the Comptroller's office at NASA Headquarters. From 1972 through
1979 he was a program analyst in the Resources Analysis Division where he had
the responsibility for several programs, including tracking and data
acquisition, space applications, space science and expendable launch vehicles.
During that time he spent a year at the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt,
Md., working in the Landsat/Nimbus project office.
In 1979 he was tasked with leading the Comptroller's independent analysis
of the Space Shuttle program. After completion of the Shuttle's orbital flight
test phase in 1982, he became the Branch Chief for Space Transportation Systems
programs in the Resources Analysis Division.
Peterson became Assistant Comptroller for Program Status Review and Cost
Assessment in 1985. In that capacity, he was a member of the NASA Headquarters
planning team formed in response to the Challenger accident. In 1986-1987 he
led the independent cost estimate team for the Space Station.
Peterson received a bachelor of arts degree in 1968 from Washington
University, St. Louis, and earned a master's degree in arts and sciences from
the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He is a member of the Senior
Executive Service and is a recipient of the NASA Exceptional Service Medal.
He is married to Ellen Wright Peterson and lives in Howard County, Md.
