    Nomination for Posts at the Department of Defense
    November 23, 1993

        The President announced today that he has nominated Richard F.
    Keevey to be the Chief Financial Officer of the Department of Defense
    and Stephen M. Ryan to be the Department's Inspector General.
        ``We must ensure that our Nation's defense dollars are spent
    frugally, and that the vast operations of the Pentagon are managed in
    the most efficient manner possible,'' said the President. ``Under
    Secretary Aspin's leadership, great strides have been taken towards
    eliminating waste and fraud, and ensuring the most cost-effective
    procurement and management processes possible. With a seasoned manager
    like Richard Keevey and an experienced investigator like Stephen Ryan on
    board, those efforts will progress even further.''

    Note: Biographies of the nominees were made available by the Office of
    the Press Secretary.
