Chief U.S. Marshal Slated to Join Bennett
U.S. Marshals Service Director Stanley E. Morris is scheduled to become a top deputy to Drug Control Policy Director William J. Bennett, White House officials said Thursday.
The officials said that Bennett had chosen Morris as his deputy director for supply, a position with responsibility for drug interdiction and law enforcement efforts. President Bush has not yet made the nomination official, but sources said that they see no obstacle to Morris’ appointment.
The 47-year-old official is credited with rejuvenating the Marshals Service, which he took over in 1983. He had served previously in the Justice Department and the Office of Management and Budget.
