      PRESIDENT NAMES REIS, GAULDIN TO POSITIONS AT ENERGY

(Washington, DC)    President Clinton announced today that he 
intends to nominate Victor R. Reis to be Assistant Secretary of 
Energy for Defense Programs and that he has approved the 
appointment of Michael Gauldin to be Director of the DoE's Office 
of Public Affairs.

     "I am very pleased to be adding these two people to the 
leadership of the Department of Energy," said the President.  
"Victor Reis is one of our country's leading defense researchers, 
and Mike Gauldin has been a valuable aide to me for years.  They 
will each play a key role in helping Secretary O'Leary to meet 
her goals for the Department of Energy."

     Victor Reis is currently Director of Defense Research and 
Engineering at the Pentagon, a position he has held since late 
1991.  He had spent the previous three years at the Department of 
Defense as Deputy Director, Acting Director, and Director of the 
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).  From 1983-89 
he was Senior Vice President for Strategic Planning at Science 
Applications International Corporation.  Reis has also held 
positions with the White House Office of Science and Technology 
Policy, NASA, and several private and academic research 
institutions.  He holds a B.M.E. from Rennsselaer Polytechnic 
Institute, and M.Eng. from Yale, and an M.A. and a Ph.D. from 
Princeton.

     Michael Gauldin served as Press Secretary to then-Governor 
Bill Clinton from 1987 until Clinton left the Governor's office 
following his election to the Presidency.  Before joining the 
Governor's staff, Gauldin worked as a reporter and editor at a 
number of Arkansas newspapers, and as a Journalism Instructor at 
the University of Arkansas.  He was also a self-employed 
editorial cartoonist who was named Editorial Cartoonist of the 
Year by the Arkansas Press Association in 1984.  From 1974-77, he 
was an Information Specialist in the U.S. Army.  He earned his 
bachelor's degree from the University of Arkansas in 1981.
