    Nomination for the Environmental Protection Agency
    September 26, 1994

        The President announced today that he intends to nominate Fred
    Hansen to be the Deputy Administrator of the Environmental Protection
    Agency.
        ``Through his accomplished State leadership, Fred Hansen brings real
    environmental expertise and commitment to this position,'' the President
    said. ``I am confident that his service at the E.P.A. will be marked by
    the same excellence and leadership he has shown in Oregon as a long-time
    environmental leader there.''
