12月2日，美国总统布什宣布提名内布拉斯加州州长迈克·约翰斯担任农业部长，接替已经辞职的美国历史上首位女性农业部长维尼曼女士。据悉，布什已经选定前纽约警察局长、现年49岁的科里克接替里奇出任国土安全部长，这一提名还需得到参议院批准。外电报道如下：President Bush has chosen former New York police commissioner¹ Bernard Kerik, who helped direct the emergency response to the Sept. 11 terrorist strikes against the Twin Towers, to lead the Homeland Security Department, charged with safeguarding Americans from future attack, administration officials said Thursday.
