(Washington, DC)    President Clinton today announced his

Capital Projects Committee.  NeMoyer holds an M.A. and J.D. from 
the State University of New York at Buffalo, and a B.S. from the 
State University of New York at Binghampton.  He is 40 years old, 
married, and has four daughters.

     Mary Jo White, formerly the Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney 
for the Eastern District, has been Acting U.S. Attorney on an 
interim basis since December.  She joined the U.S. Attorney's 
office in 1990, previous to which she had been with a litigator 
with the New York firm of Devevoise & Plimpton.  She had 
previously worked as an Assistant U.S. Attorney from 1978-81, and

of New York, serving on committees on the Judiciary, Ethics, 
Criminal Law, Public Law Offices, Legal Education and Admission 
to the Bar, and the Nominating Committee.  In addition, she has
