A Message from the

Center Director
The past year at Kennedy Space Center has proven to be a
time of vital change, new challenges and the realization of funda-
mental partnerships that will change the face of the Center. As
we follow our roadmap to the future of KSC, with each small step
we forge new ground in becoming a true Spaceport Technology
Center.
One step in achieving our goal was the KSC 2000 reorgani-
zation effort that has positioned the Center for a productive
future. KSC launched a new era on May 7, when its new organi-
zational structure officially took effect. The improvement replaced
the previous 21 organizations with 15 organizations reporting to
the Center Director, streamlining the Center and adapting it to the
technology and customer needs of today. While fully meeting our
responsibilities for ground operations and continuing our tradition
of excellence, KSC can now participate in NASA’s cutting edge
engineering initiatives in its role as a Spaceport Technology
Center.
As lead center for NASA’s acquisition and management of
Expendable Launch Vehicle (ELV) Launch Services, KSC kept its
momentum going by selecting Boeing Delta Launch Services Inc.
and Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services Inc. for the
NASA Launch Services contract awards.
In addition to the six ELV launches flown in the last fiscal
year, KSC launched four successful Shuttle missions, two of
which flew to the International Space Station (ISS) in preparation
of the first resident crew. The other missions focused on the
servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope and the Shuttle Radar
Topography Mission (SRTM) to map the Earth.
KSC also saw numerous ribbon cuttings including the Space
Experiment Research and Processing Laboratory (SERPL), the
Cryogenics Testbed Facility, the Vehicle Assembly Building Safe
Haven and the first Checkout and Launch Control System
(CLCS) in the Hypergolic Maintenance Facility.
Partnerships with the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
strengthened as we widened the bridge over the river. In June
2000, Brig. Gen. Donald Pettit, commander of the 45th Space
Wing, and I signed an interagency agreement that established
2
the Joint Planning and Customer Service (JPCS) office. The

agreement brought together an integrated staff so that Spaceport
customers will have a one-stop shop with expertise both from the
45th Space Wing and KSC.
The Florida Space Summit held in January 2000 brought
influential leaders from federal and state government, industry
and academia together to discuss the future for space explora-
tion. I had the pleasure of moderating a discussion about the
future of space as it related to the state of Florida during the
Summit. A fascinating discussion ensued between participants
like Senator Bob Graham, Rep. Dave Weldon, Gov. Jeb Bush,
Brig. Gen. Pettit, and NASA Administrator Dan Goldin. Lieutenant
Governor Brogan and I also signed a Memorandum of Under-
standing (MOU) to document the long-term intent to form new
partnerships with public and private academic institutions for
development of new technology learning environments for the
training of our aerospace workforce. We followed up this year
adding funding to start the first phase of the agreement.
Through these efforts and others, KSC began the new millen-
nium with a reinvigorated sense of destiny and a clear plan for
continuing excellence in launch operations and technology
development.
Each year presents different challenges than the previous
one, but our vision for the Spaceport Technology Center, along
with the promise of continuing partnerships, will ensure the
safety and success of future missions into space to explore and
discover keys to mysteries of this grand universe God created for
us.

Statement of the Chief

Financial Officer
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2000 financial statements (unaudited) have
been prepared to report the financial position and results of
NASA’s Kennedy Space Center operation, pursuant to the
requirements of the Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) Act of 1990
and the Government Management Reform Act of 1994 (GMRA).
The statements include the Statement of Financial Position and
the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Position.
The statements have been prepared from the books and records
of NASA, in accordance with the comprehensive basis of ac-
counting prescribed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Bulletin 94-01, “Form and Content of Agency Financial
Statements.” The statements are different from financial reports
used to monitor and control budgetary resources, which are
prepared from the same books and records.
The statements should be read with the realization that they are
for an agency of the U.S. Government, a sovereign entity. Liabili-
ties not covered by budgetary resources cannot be liquidated
without the enactment of an appropriation, and payment of all
liabilities, other than for contracts, can be abrogated by the
sovereign entity.
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with
Federal accounting standards. These standards are evolving
through the efforts of the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory
Board (FASAB). This board includes members from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), the General Accounting Office
(GAO), and the Department of Treasury (Treasury). Currently,
NASA observes the following hierarchy of accounting standards
as required by OMB:
• Individual FASAB standards published by OMB, GAO and

Treasury;
• OMB guidance on the form and content of financial state-
ments;
• Agency accounting guidance, which represents prevalent
practices; and
• Accounting principles published by other authoritative sources.

Congressional appropriations, authorizes and funds KSC opera-
