Not to the press. And actually - I misremembered. It wasn't Feynman, it was an Air Forge general who was on the commission. While walking along, not looking down and not saying a thing, Ride slipped him a NASA document on O-ring rigidity vs temperature. He kept this fact a secret until after she died, and then told the story as part of the Popular Mechanics oral history article. He talked to Feynman about O-rings, and that led to his excellent icewater demo.
