QUOTE OF THE DAY
President Bush Ceremonially Swears in Director of Office of Management and Budget Jim Nussle
Room 450
Dwight D. Eisenhower Executive Office Building

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. Please be seated. Thank you for joining us as I welcome the new Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Jim Nussle. I congratulate Jim. I thank him for agreeing to serve.

Public service is a family commitment. And I want to thank Karen, Sarah and Mark and all the members of Jim's family for supporting him as he takes on this important duty. I appreciate the Vice President being here to swear in the newest member of the Cabinet. I appreciate the members of my Cabinet for joining us. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to be here. I know Jim appreciates it.

The Director of OMB is one of the most important jobs in government. It's a vital assignment. I picked a man who knows how to count -- (laughter) -- and knows how to work with Congress to get the job done.

This agency oversees the broad range of operations essential to the day-to-day operations of the federal government. It requires a leader who believes in the people, who cares about the people of the United States. Jim is such a person. It also requires a leader who knows how to keep taxes low, because that's what we intend to do.
