    Nomination for Deputy Director for Management at the Office of
    Management and Budget
    February 19, 1993

        The President today appointed Phil Lader, a South Carolina
    businessman and educator, to be the Office of Management and Budget's
    Deputy Director for Management. As the senior administration official
    directly responsible for cutting waste and inefficiency in Government
    operations, Lader will play a key role in the President's efforts to
    reinvent Government.
        ``We must streamline the operations of the Federal Government,''
    said President Clinton. ``We must squeeze every penny that we have out
    of the Government before we ask ordinary Americans to contribute to
    deficit reduction. Phil Lader has my complete confidence. I trust his
    ability to find every way possible to carry out my mandate of slashing
    the executive costs of Government.''

    Note: A biography of the nominee was made available by the Office of the
    Press Secretary.
