DNC Statement on Claude Allen Appointment

Washington, D.C. - The White House announced yesterday
that Claude Allen will serve as President George W.
Bush's new domestic policy advisor.

Claude Allen first came under fire while serving as
the only African American aide to then-Senator Jesse
Helms. During that time, Helms filibustered against
the proposed federal holiday honoring Martin Luther
King, Jr. The following year Allen publicly rebuked
then-Governor James Hunt for having links to 'queers'
and 'radical feminists' during his race against Helms.

"Bush's appointment of Claude Allen is disappointing
and appalling," said Democratic National Committee
(DNC) Chairman Terry McAuliffe. "If Bush wants someone
with a history of intolerance to set domestic policy
for the country, then the American people are in for a
difficult four years."
