Clay to Be Appointed to President Bush's Committee for People With Intellectual Disabilities

President George Bush intends to appoint Clay as one of several people to be Members of the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities. According to a Personnel Announcement from the White House:

President George W. Bush today announced his intention to nominate eight individuals, designate two individuals and appoint thirteen individuals to serve in his Administration.

Clay is listed amount several people as follows:

The President intends to appoint the following individuals to be Members of the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities:

Dallas Rob Sweezy, of Virginia, and upon appointment designate Chair, for an additional two year term expiring May 11, 2008.
Clayton Aiken, of North Carolina
Stephen Bird, of Virginia
Valerie Billmire, of Utah

Stephanie Brown, of Florida
William J. Edwards, of California
Brian J. Kelly, of California
Mary Margaret Pucci, of Illinois
Linda Hampton Starnes, of Florida
Stephen Henry Suroveic, of Pennsylvania
William E. Tienken, of Illinois

I don't know when I've ever been so proud of Clay. No doubt he will be a huge asset to this Committee. He has already made great strides via the Bubel Aiken Foundation in the inclusion of children with disabilities. This is just another opportunity for him to spread the word about the important and much needed work that is being done in this regard.

Congratulations Clay!
