    Statement on Senate Confirmation of Henry M. Paulson, Jr., as Secretary of the Treasury
    June 28, 2006

        I commend the Senate for moving swiftly to confirm Henry Paulson as
    Secretary of the Treasury. I look forward to working with Hank to keep
    our economy and financial markets strong and to continue our efforts to
    choke off sources of terrorist financing. I thank Chairman
    Grassley, Senator Baucus, and Senator Schumer for
    their leadership during the confirmation process. I congratulate Hank
    and his family on his confirmation and thank him for his service to our
    Nation.
