    March 31, 1993

        The President will nominate Dr. Anita Jones to be Director of

    Morton Halperin to be Assistant Secretaries of Defense for Plans and
    Policy, Personnel and Readiness, and Democracy and Human Rights
    respectively, the White House announced today.
        ``At this time of change and uncertainty, it is imperative that we
    have a topflight team at the Pentagon,'' said the President. ``These
    four people have what it takes to keep the Defense Department moving
    forward.''
