Bush Nominates Condi
By Matt Margolis | November 16, 2004
Earlier this afternoon, Bush made the announcement:
Good afternoon. I’m pleased to announce my nomination of Dr. Condoleezza Rice to be America’s Secretary of State. Condi Rice is already known to all Americans, and to much of the world.
During the last four years I’ve relied on her counsel, benefited from her great experience and appreciated her sound and steady judgment. And now I’m honored that she has agreed to serve in my Cabinet. The Secretary of State is America’s face to the world. And in Dr. Rice, the world will see the strength, the grace and the decency of our country.
Both Condi and I have been proud to serve with our friend, Secretary of State Colin Powell. He has been one of the most effective and admired diplomats in America’s history. Secretary Powell has helped to rally the world in a global war, has helped to resolve dangerous regional conflicts; he’s helped to confront the desperate challenges of hunger, poverty and disease. He has been tireless and selfless and principled, and our entire nation is grateful for his lifetime of service.
