        The President announced today that he intends to nominate John
    Dalton, an Annapolis graduate and former Chairman of the Federal Home
    Loan Bank Board, to be Secretary of the Navy.
        ``Throughout his distinguished Navy career and his equally
    distinguished civilian career in public service and private industry,
    John Dalton has displayed true leadership ability,'' said the President.
    ``I am proud that he has agreed to serve with me and confident that he
    will work with Secretary Aspin and the Navy to adjust to the new
    security realities that we face.''
