Statement on Bill Daley’s Selection
Washington – Business Roundtable lauds President Obama’s selection of Bill Daley as the next White House Chief of Staff.
Mr. Daley brings a wealth of both public and private sector experience that will be critical as the Administration seeks to formulate polices capable of promoting job growth, enhancing America’s global leadership and driving a robust, sustainable U.S. economic recovery.
Business Roundtable has a strong relationship with Mr. Daley and has worked with him in the past on many issues important to both business and the broader economy, such as the successful ratification of NAFTA. Mr. Daley can continue to be an important partner in our fight to enact the type of policies our nation needs to reinvigorate the economy and get Americans back to work.
We look forward to continuing our work with Mr. Daley in his new position.
