Bruce Murray resigns as Head of JPL
Bruce Murray, 50, has notified Caltech that he will step down
later this year as director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The announcement came at the very start of Murray's seventh
year as JPL head, a pos he took April 1, 1976.  He recently
has been involved in guiding JPL through a financial crisis
caused by funding cuts in deep space exploration by the
federal government.
  The date of his departure has not been determined, and no new
director has been named.  Murray says he plans to travel with
his wife, Suzanne, and also undertake some writing.
