    Nomination for Energy Department and Ambassadorial Posts
    April 22, 1993

        The President announced today that he will nominate Archer Durham, a
    retired Major General in the U.S. Air Force, to be Assistant Secretary
    of Energy for Human Resources and Administration. He also formally
    announced his intent to nominate Boston Mayor Raymond Flynn to be
    Ambassador to the Holy See.
        ``Through his long and exemplary career in the Air Force, Archer
    Durham had a reputation of being a hands-on manager who consistently led
    the Air Force in management efficiency indicators,'' said the President.
    ``Secretary O'Leary has called for that kind of management at her
    Department, and I am glad that General Durham will be providing it.''
        ``I am also very pleased to be formally announcing my intention to
    nominate Mayor Flynn for the important post of Ambassador to the Holy
    See,'' the President added. ``As I said on St. Patrick's Day here at the
    White House, he has been one of the best mayors to serve in my lifetime,
    and I think he'll do a great job in a wide range of areas.''

    the Press Secretary.
