WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama is set to fill out more than a
third of his cabinet, naming members of his national security team
and others on Monday.
His selections include some of his most loyal campaign advisers,
as well as his chief Democratic rival for the nomination, Hillary
Rodham Clinton. Officials say she's Obama's pick to be secretary of
state.
In order to make that possible, officials say, Bill Clinton had
to agree to disclose the names of every contributor to his
foundation, and to refuse donations from foreign governments to the
Clinton Global Initiative. He also has to submit his speaking
schedule for review, and to step away from day-to-day management of
his foundation.
Democratic officials say Obama will announce that President
Bush's defense secretary, Robert Gates, will stay in that post.
Obama also plans to name Eric Holder as attorney general, and
Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano as homeland security secretary.
Susan Rice, a campaign foreign policy adviser, is set to be
named as U.N. ambassador. And retired Marine General James L. Jones
is Obama's choice to be national security adviser.
