A Congratulations to Gov. Locke (Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson)
I congratulate Governor Locke on his nomination as Commerce Secretary. I hope he will be proactive in helping U.S. businesses’ marketing efforts abroad and be an advocate from within the administration for responsible tax and regulatory policies. He will face many challenging issues at the Department of Commerce, including the upcoming census and digital television transition. I look forward to discussing these issues with him, and hearing his views on how to ensure, among other things, the successful completion of a transparent and non-politicized census.
