Nevada Senator Harry Reid made the following
statement today after President-elect Obama nominated Sen. Ken Salazar to be
Secretary of Interior and former Gov. Tom Vilsack to be Secretary of
Agriculture: "Gov. Vilsack will bring strong leadership to the Department of Agriculture. As the twice-elected former Governor of Iowa, he respects the importance of farming and ranching in rural America. Vilsack understands the vital importance of food and nutrition, conservation, energy, and rural-development programs, and will take up the challenge of implementing sustainable and reform-minded farm bill projects."
