Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today issued the following statement regarding the announcement of President Obama’s waiver to his executive order regarding ethics as it applies to Mr. Bill Lynn to be Deputy Secretary of Defense:  

 

“I am disappointed in President Obama’s decision to waive the “revolving door” provisions of the executive order for Mr. Bill Lynn, his nominee to serve as Deputy Secretary of Defense,” said Senator John McCain. 

 

“While I applaud the President’s action to implement new, more stringent ethical rules, I had hoped he would not find it necessary to waive them so soon. 

 

“Before I can determine whether to support his nomination as Deputy Secretary of Defense, I intend to ask him to clarify for the record what matters and decisions will require his recusal.”
