    Statement on White House Staff Changes

     August 7, 1993

        I appreciate the outstanding work Regina Montoya has done as the
    Director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.
        When I asked Regina to join my administration, I knew she was
    sacrificing a great deal to leave a successful legal career and her
    family in Dallas. When she informed me she was contemplating returning
    to Dallas because of the difficulty the commute has placed on her
    family, I was supportive of her decision to reunite her family.
        I applaud her decision and thank her for the hard work and dedicated
    service she gave her country and wish her happiness and success in the
    future. And I look forward to calling on her for her insight in the
    future.
        I am also very pleased that Marcia Hale has agreed to take on this
    new responsibility. Marcia has been a strong team player, a dedicated
    worker, and a valued adviser in her capacity as Director of Scheduling
    and Advance. Her background in State government and experience in
    consensus-building and solving local issues will make her a forceful
    advocate for local and State interests. I look forward to Marcia's
    trusted counsel, analysis, and judgment in this new and exciting
    endeavor.

    Note: The White House press release also included statements by Regina
    Montoya and Marcia Hale.
