    Nomination for Posts at the Commerce and Transportation Departments
    July 9, 1993

        The President has announced his intention to nominate David Barram
    to the position of Deputy Secretary at the Department of Commerce and
    Steve Palmer to be Assistant Secretary for Governmental Affairs at the
    Department of Transportation.
        ``These appointments are a continuation of our efforts to nominate
    accomplished and dedicated professionals to important Government
    positions,'' the President said.
        The President said that Mr. Barram's private sector experience will
    be a valuable asset at the Commerce Department. ``His professional
    background combined with his extensive community service will add an
    important perspective.''
        ``Steve Palmer,'' said the President, ``has lengthy experience in
    Federal Government which makes him especially qualified for this post.''

    the Press Secretary.
