and vision of the President is the job of the White House Office
of Presidential Personnel.
* The White House Office of Presidential Personnel is
committed to bringing in talented people to the administration
not only to make it "look like America" with ethnic and

The Secretary works with Presidential Personnel search team
to interview and select a "recommended" candidate for each
position as well as one or more "alternate" candidates, if need
be.
The Director of Presidential Personnel, Bruce Lindsey,
presents the Secretary's recommendations to the President for his
review and approval. A copy is submitted to the Vice President.
The President either approves the Secretary's choice, chooses one
of the alternate candidates or requests further consideration be
made.
* Contained within this simple outline are many people
involved in outreach, interviewing, research, and decision-
making.
* The administration works to create teams of people in an
agency with diverse but complementary backgrounds and expertises.
There are many criteria and factors to consider and to match when
trying to do the best for the President, the agency, and the
individual.

MEMORANDUM
To:
The President
From:
Bruce Lindsey
Date:
March 23, 1993
Re:
Status of Presidential Appointments
To date, you have formally nominated 50 PAS level appointments
(those requiring Senate confirmation). (Bush had sent 45 as of
March 23.) You have announced an additional 101 PAS appointments
and have approved 55 appointments which will be announced within
the next week to ten days. That means you have approved over 200
PAS candidates as of today.
You can gauge your progress by comparing these numbers with the
number of Bush and Reagan nominations as of their 100-day mark. As
of that date (April 29), Bush had nominated 95 candidates, and
Reagan 137. Since you have announced 151 candidates to date, with
55 more ready to go, your pace is well ahead of where Reagan and
Bush were at the 100-day mark, assuming that most of those
candidates who have been announced proceed to nomination before
that date.
(Note: After you have made an announcement, the formal nomination
does not proceed until the FBI and the IRS have completed their
background and financial checks. This process has been running
anywhere from four to eight weeks, with some of your mid-January
announcements still not yet complete. The delay between your
announcement of an appointment and the formal nomination is a
function of these background checks. We are tracking their
progress closely.)
