Gates Names Picks for Top 2 Replacements at Air Force
Monday, June 09, 2008

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Monday recommended Gen. Norton Schwartz be next Air Force chief of staff, the top uniformed leader of the service.

"Today I provided my recommendation to the resident for the nominations to the top civilian and military leadership positions in the Air Force," Gates said in a statement.

"I recommend that Michael Donley be nominated to serve as Secretary of the Air Force," Gates said. The name had surfaced as a likelihood last week.

"I further recommend to the President that General Norton Schwartz be nominated to serve as the Air Force Chief of Staff," Gates said.
