Wednesday january 13,1993diversity Rute slows Clinton s top lineup by the new York times Little Rock Ark. A with the inauguration a week away a president elect Bill Clinton has still not filled most of the top sub Cabinet jobs largely because he is trying to draw in Quot More than the usual White boys who run Washington As a transition official put it Clinton is Well on his Way to meeting his pledge to fill the. Top 100 jobs in his administration by next wednesdays inauguration Day transition officials said. But the process is slower than usual because the president elect is demanding the same diversity of women minorities and White men that he brought into the Cabinet. At this stage both presidents Reagan and Bush had filled most of their top sub Cabinet jobs. Quot the process is working Quot said one Clinton official. Quot there is no delay from our Point of View. If we wanted to rely on the usual White boys in Washington we would be done by now. But if you want to get beyond that it takes a Little longer. Actually it has necessitated a huge juggling act. Clinton is trying to satisfy his top aides and Campaign supporters Many of whom Are White Mem with the jobs they Are seeking White at the same time bringing in new faces and minorities to fulfil his diversity pledge. Public to get just 15% of Parade seats by Cox news service Washington politics and profits Are popping up in Bill Clinton s supposedly populist inaugural Parade next wednesday.

I the Public bleacher seats along the Parade route have been sold out. Of course people can watch the Parade for free if they stand. Distributing the tickets through ticketmaster a which tacked on the $3 surcharge a was the most efficient Way to distribute them said Sally Amah a a fade planner. A we Don t have the capabilities. In House to distribute such a Large number of  a spokesman for ticketmaster said the $3 fee is less than the $4 the Agency usually charges per ticket ordered by phone for Washington area concerts. This has naturally led to people particularly some White men being offered jobs that they do not want or feel Are inferior they complain and the musical chairs Start anew. The White House staff alone seems to have gone through a dozen different permutations in recent weeks. One Day Bruce Reed was pencilled in As the Likely Choice of chief Domestic policy adviser. But the next Day word had it that the Job would go to Carol h. Rasco Clinton a health policy adviser in Arkan Bush s final 10 Are a Washington a president Bush on monday recognized the volunteers of a St. Paul min youth hockey program As his 1,020th and final a Point of  Bush announced 10 Points of Light a one for each of his remaining Days in  final selection was the Mariucci inner City hockey starter association whose volunteers Leach inner City children Ages 6 to 8 to skate and play ice hockey. The association was founded in 1984, and its 28 volunteers include former hockey players parents and other Community members who give their time and skills to teach Chil Drin the benefits of athletics. The first Point of Light announced nov. 22, 1989, was the commercial Appeal of Memphis Tenn. The newspaper was recognized  Volunteer Nam in the Memphis area. Bush coined the phrase in his August 1988 acceptance speech at the Republican National convention As a Way of describing things americans do for one another without government help the nine other Points of Light announced monday were a Iva Kaufman of Hemet Calif for ensuring that senior citizens in her Community have Quail to health care and social interaction.

A Robert Thompson of St. Joseph mo., for helping senior citizens in his Community a Jennifer Trigg of san Jose calif., for providing information and referral services to refugees from Southeast Asia. On . Sas As a counterbalance to Harold Ickes a new York lawyer who is White. Ickes is Likely to serve under Thomas f. Mclarty jr., the chief of staff another White Man. The president elect is known to take his time on top choices and change his mind. The Clinton transition staff is clearly on Edge with staff members wary of speaking with reporters for fear that one wrong word could Cost them a Job. Each Day for the last week Clinton aides have suggested that in the a next says Russia Day or so Quot the rest of the staff announcements would be made Only to backtrack. Now that the Cabinet secretaries have been nominated Many of them have their own ideas about whom they want As top deputies and in some cases their choices have clashed with the lists provided by Clinton a transition personnel director Richard w. Riley. For instance the Clinton team is said to favor Rozanne Ridgeway a former assistant Secretary of state for european affairs to be undersecretary for International affairs to Secretary of defense designate Les Aspin. Such a move would put a Well known woman on the team. But Aspin is said to be Balking at this in favor of his own Choice. Another Issue raised by the emphasis Clinton has placed on diversity is How some people Are going to work together. He has tried to avoid the path followed by former president Carter of allowing his Cabinet secretaries to appoint whomever they wanted. That resulted in an administration in which departments were More Loyal to their own Agenda than to that of the president. But Linton May be courting the opposite problem. That is departments in which the senior staff members Are All strangers without experience working together and the Only thing they have in common is loyalty to Clinton.
