    Appointment of White House Liaison to the Metropolitan Washington
    Council of Governments
    April 14, 1993

        The President has named Loretta Avent, his Special Assistant for
    Intergovernmental Affairs, to be the White House Liaison to the
    Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, the White House
    announced today.
        ``Too often in the past, the Federal Government has not been a very
    good neighbor to the rest of the Washington area,'' said the President.
    ``I am committed to changing that relationship and have full confidence
    in Loretta's ability to act effectively to make the White House a full
    partner in the affairs of the region where we live.''

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