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.
