The NASA administrator, Michael D. Griffin, called for ''scientific openness'' at the agency. Last Thursday, in comments at the National Space Club in Washington, Dr. Griffin said the agency must ensure that its scientists can speak freely on the implications of their work for policy -- as long as they do not imply they are representing NASA.  The NASA administrator, Michael D. Griffin, called for ''scientific openness'' at the agency after the disclosure comes nearly in two weeks. Dr. Griffin, who became administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in April, have been reported to senior scientists and administrators who are assembling complaints as part of a review of communications policies. Dr. Griffin also announced the review of communications policies after complaints last month by James E. Hansen, the agency's top climate scientist, that political appointees were trying to stop him from speaking out on global warming.
