STATEMENT BY ATTORNEY GENERAL JANET RENO
ON THE SELECTION OF BETH NOLAN AS WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL


"Beth is a wonderful choice for the job.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Beth for the past three years. Over that period, I have come to see first hand why she is so widely respected throughout the legal community.

"Beth has extensive expertise in ethics and constitutional law. She is perfectly suited for the job, having gained extensive experience working in the Office of Legal Counsel during both the Clinton and Reagan Administrations, as well as in the White House Counsel's Office for two years.

"Beth is known for her excellent judgment, her practical and thoughtful scholarship, and her integrity.

"The President and the nation will be well-served with Beth Nolan as White House Counsel."
