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.
