    Nomination for Under Secretary of Energy
    November 1, 1993

        The President announced today that he intends to nominate Charles B.
    Curtis to be the Under Secretary of Energy. After he is confirmed, he
    will assume management responsibility for science and technology
    programs, weapons and waste cleanup programs, and energy policy matters
    assigned by the Secretary.
        ``There are few Americans who can match Charles Curtis' governmental
    experience or his knowledge of energy policy,'' said the President. ``He
    will be an outstanding addition to Secretary O'Leary's team at the
    Energy Department.''

    Note: A biography of the nominee was made available by the Office of the
    Press Secretary.
