On 18 September 2014, the Senate confirmed Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall as the US Department of EnergydzԹs Deputy Secretary.
dzԹLizdzԹs confirmation comes at a historic time in our nationdzԹs energy evolution,dzԹ said Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz. dzԹShe joins us with deep expertise in the DepartmentdzԹs nuclear security mission, including both nuclear weapons and countering proliferation. Her extensive public service and recent responsibilities on the White House National Security team position her to contribute to the DepartmentdzԹs energy and security missions in a major way, both domestically and internationally. I thank the Senate for their attention to LizdzԹs nomination, and look forward to working closely with her as a key, trusted colleague.dzԹ
As Deputy Secretary, Dr. Sherwood-Randall will support Secretary Moniz in the management and operation of the Department of Energy. She will have responsibility for enhancing DOEdzԹs delivery of results for the American people, including: strengthening project oversight and management; ensuring the safety, security and effectiveness of the nationdzԹs nuclear weapons and advancing the AdministrationdzԹs nonproliferation agenda; supporting the vital contributions of our unique national laboratory network; and promoting the AdministrationdzԹs dzԹall-of-the-abovedzԹ energy strategy for a low carbon future and a strong economy.
"I am deeply honored by President ObamadzԹs nomination to this new role and by the trust the Senate has placed in me by confirming me today,dzԹ said Dr. Sherwood-Randall. dzԹI am excited to have this opportunity to serve with Secretary Moniz and the multi-talented Energy Department staff, whose mission is vital to a strong economy and to our national security.dzԹ
