For Immediate Release May 7, 2009
Vice President Biden issued this statement today after the United
States Senate voted to confirm Chief Gil Kerlikowske as Director of the
Office of National Drug Control Policy:
"I am very pleased by the Senate’s overwhelming support for Gil
Kelikowske today. Chief Kerlikowske is the right man for the job. With
over 36 years of law enforcement experience at all levels, he has long
been on the front-lines in the battle against drugs. And, while the
challenge before him is great, the President and I believe that he will
lead our nation’s efforts against illegal drugs with unshakable
resolve."
