WASHINGTON -- President-elect Barack Obama is
expected to nominate New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson to head the Commerce
Department, a senior Democratic source said on Tuesday.
Obama
is expected to announce the appointment during a news conference scheduled for
1140 EST/1640 GMT on Wednesday in Chicago,
his fifth since he began naming nominees for his Cabinet.
The
appointment of Richardson, a former UN ambassador and energy secretary who became
an Obama supporter earlier this year after dropping his own presidential bid,
would make him the first Hispanic named to Obama's rapidly filling Cabinet.
Last
week Obama announced members of his economic team including his nominee for
Treasury secretary, New York Federal Reserve President Timothy Geithner, and
this week he unveiled his national security team including his designate for
Secretary of State, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.
Richardson, 61, had been a contender for the secretary of state post
that went to his former Democratic presidential rival Clinton, but at Commerce
he will play a key role in efforts to revive the faltering US economy.
