COLUMBIA ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION BOARD REPORT
VOLUMES AVAILABLE TUESDAY ON NASA WEB SITE

    Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 10 a.m. EST, Volumes II-VI of the Columbia
Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) report will be available on the NASA Web
site: www.nasa.gov. These volumes contain appendices and additional information
that provide the supporting documentation for the main text of Volume I, which
was released on August 26.

The CAIB said in its Oct. 24 press statement that other conclusions and proposed
recommendations drawn in Vols. II-VI does not necessarily reflect the views of
the CAIB but are included for the record. When there is conflict, Vol. I takes
precedence. It alone is the CAIB's official statement.

Hard copies of Volumes I-VI are available through the Government Printing Office
for a fee. Those copies can be ordered from the GPO's Web site: www.gpo.gov.

The full report will be available on the Internet after 10 a.m. Tuesday at:

http://www.nasa.gov
