Announcement of Nomination for Five Sub-Cabinet Posts

 March 25, 1993

    President Clinton added five senior members to his administration 
today, announcing his intention to nominate Alan Blinder and Joseph 
Stiglitz as members of the Council of Economic Advisers, Kathryn 
Sullivan as Chief Scientist at the Commerce Department's National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Arati Prabhakar as Director of 
the National Institute of Standards and Technology at Commerce, and 
Marilynn Davis as the Assistant Secretary for Administration at the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
    ``I am asking these people today to fill roles which are absolutely 
essential for the effective workings of this Government,'' said the 
President. ``Providing sound economic advice, developing better models 
to understand environmental change, working to ensure an American edge 
in high technology, and finally bringing the operations of HUD under 
control are the kinds of actions that the American people need. The 
people that I am nominating will get the job done for them.''

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