 2004 Presidential Transition
President Bush has decided to retain Andrew Card as his Chief of Staff, according to the Denver Post [November 9, 2004, "Bush keeps chief of staff in molding 2nd-term team"]. From the article, "Card's first assignment: help the president reshape the administration for the term that begins in January, sorting through possible personnel changes in the Cabinet and elsewhere...A Treasury Department official in charge of keeping tabs on the nation's financial markets, including Wall Street, announced that he intends to leave his post at the end of December. Brian Roseboro, the department's undersecretary for domestic finance, revealed his intentions in a resignation letter to Bush. Roseboro, who has been at Treasury since 2001, was sworn in as undersecretary on April 16 of this year. Top White House officials are said to be leaning on many of their subordinates to stay in place, part of an effort to maintain stability. Card has the lead role, but Clay Johnson, deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, who led Bush's transition into the Oval Office in 2001, and Dina Powell, assistant to the president for personnel, are intimately involved in White House discussions on second-term personnel."
