OBAMA RELENTS ON FORE NOMINATION

The Chicago Tribune reported July 20th that "Sen. Barack
Obama (D-Ill.) told Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on
Tuesday that he would withdraw his objection to her choice
for undersecretary of state for management, Henrietta Fore.

After expressing misgivings about comments Fore made
during a 1987 speech at Wellesley College, Obama met with
Fore, now director of the U.S. Mint, and received assurances
that she would make diversity in the State Department
workforce a top priority."

"Obama said he decided to allow the nomination to proceed
after holding a series of conversations with Fore, talking to
people who had worked with her and reviewing her record
at the U.S. Mint and at the U.S. Agency for International
Development."
