[ga] Senate confirms Gutierrez as Commerce secretary

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All former DNSO GA members or other interested stakeholders/users,


 The Senate Monday confirmed by voice vote the nomination of
Carlos Gutierrez to head the Commerce Department.

Gutierrez, the chief executive officer of Kellogg Co., will replace
Donald Evans, a close confidant of President Bush. Gutierrez, who
was born in Cuba and began his career at Kellogg in Mexico as a
salesman, becomes the first Hispanic to head the department.

At Kellogg, he has been credited with turning around the company
by focusing on high-end products. As head of the cereal company,
a large user of sugar, Gutierrez sought to end the federal sugar quota
system, which drives up domestic prices. He told the Senate Commerce
Committee at his nomination hearing that he would recuse himself from
participating in sugar issues while at Commerce if government ethics
lawyers ruled he had a conflict of interest.
