Abstract
This digital library exhibit covers significant programs or events concerning the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) during President Clinton’s administration. The administration established and implemented a series of space policies to address a broad range of civil, national security, and commercial activities. Secondary sources were consulted to provide the institutional history of NASA, NASA’s relationship with the executive branch, and the timeline of policies. Primary sources from the Clinton Library’s archives were used to provide evidence and context to the intention and actualities of policies. The resulting digital library exhibit shows how President Clinton’s administrative policies in conjunction with NASA strengthened national security, enhanced the economic competitiveness and scientific and technical capabilities of the United States, and promoted international cooperation to further U.S. domestic, national security and foreign policies.
