[Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents Volume 29, Number 7 (Monday, February 22, 1993)] [Pages 225-226] [Online from the Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov] <R04> Nomination of Phil Lader To Be Deputy Director for Management for the Office of Management and Budget February 19, 1993 The President today appointed Phil Lader, a South Carolina businessman and educator, to be the Office of Management and Budget's Deputy Director for Management. As the senior administration official directly responsible for cutting waste and inefficiency in Government operations, Lader will play a key role in the President's efforts to reinvent Government. ``We must streamline the operations of the Federal Government,'' said President Clinton. ``We must squeeze every penny that we have out of the Government before we ask ordinary Americans to contribute to deficit reduction. Phil Lader has my complete confidence. I trust his ability to find every way possible to carry out my mandate of slashing the executive costs of Government.'' A lawyer by training and candidate for South Carolina Governor in 1986, Mr. Lader has had senior management experience in diverse fields. In business, he was president of Sea Pines Company, an operator and developer of recreation facilities, and executive vice president of a financial holding company. In academia, he was president of Australia's first private university and president of Winthrop University in South Carolina. He also was the founder and host of Renaissance Weekends and president of Business Executives for National Security.
