NASA's chief engineer said that cutbacks in the safety program over the previous three years had put the Agency "in a dangerous situation." Loss of personnel and transfer of safety responsibility to field offices and contractors contributed to NASA's inability to catch the seal problem. He reasoned that "there are only so many problems [one person] can look at, and in my opinion the Solid Rocket Booster was a relatively easy thing to do. But it really wasn't getting the amount of attention from here it should have." (W Times, Mar 5/86)
