Obama Announces Transition Leaders for 3 Key Agencies

A team heavy on experience in the Clinton administration is helping guide President-elect Obama’s transition efforts in critical federal departments.

Obama announced Wednesday the agency review team leaders who he’ll send to the State, Defense and Treasury departments. The members will be responsible for reviewing budgets, personnel and policy so the new administration can begin working as soon as Obama is sworn on Jan. 20.

He named two leaders for each of the three agencies, and all six worked in some capacity under President Clinton.
