Presidential Nominations and Appointments
One of President Bush's top priorities is to select men and
women of the greatest ability and highest ethical and professional
integrity to serve in policymaking and key administrative
positions in his administration.
Presidential appointments are an ongoing effort. Some of President
Bush's appointments will require Senate confirmation. These
appointments are for positions throughout the federal government,
for the Cabinet and subcabinet, for members of regulatory
commissions, for ambassadorships, for judgeships and for members
of numerous advisory boards. The President will also make
many other political appointments that do not require Senate
confirmation.

"The
success of the Bush-Cheney administration will depend on the
quality appointees we choose to join us to lead this nation
in the years ahead. I will look for people who are willing
to work hard to do what is best for America, who examine the
facts and do what is right whether or not it is popular. I
will look for people from across the country and from every
walk of life. I welcome all who are ready for this great challenge
to apply."
President
George W. Bush
