    Nomination for Posts at the Council of Economic Advisers and the
    Commerce and Housing and Urban Development Departments
    March 25, 1993

        The President added five senior members to his administration today,
    announcing his intention to nominate Alan Blinder and Joseph Stiglitz as
    members of the Council of Economic Advisers, Kathryn Sullivan as Chief
    Scientist at the Commerce Department's National Oceanic and Atmospheric
    Administration, Arati Prabhakar as Director of the National Institute of
    Standards and Technology at Commerce, and Marilynn Davis as the
    Assistant Secretary for Administration at the Department of Housing and
    Urban Development.
        ``I am asking these people today to fill roles which are absolutely
    essential for the effective workings of this Government,'' said the
    President. ``Providing sound economic advice, developing better models
    to understand environmental change, working to ensure an American edge
    in high technology, and finally bringing the operations of HUD under
    control are the kinds of actions that the American people need. The
    people that I am nominating will get the job done for them.''

    Note: Biographies of the nominees were made available by the Office of
    the Press Secretary.
