Allowing the NASA Administrator to temporarily assign NASA employees to private sector entities, or vice versa, with written agreements that require the employee to serve in NASA or the civil service for twice the length of the assignment. 2. Specifying the terms and conditions for these assignments, including requirements related to conflicts of interest, access to non-public information, and the prohibition of using the program to circumvent limitations on the size of NASA's civil servant workforce. 3. Requiring NASA to establish policies and procedures for implementing the program and to report annually to Congress on its implementation. 4.
