NASA announced that, because of a US$ 100 million budget shortfall, it would lay off 600 workers from its 6,000-person workforce, including 500 workers from KSC. United Space Alliance, the joint venture of Lockheed Martin and the Boeing Company, which NASA had contracted to take over Shuttle operations, planned to solicit volunteers for early retirement before resorting to "pink slips." To ensure the maintenance of safety standards, NASA was to maintain the right of final approval of all personnel decisions.
