WASHINGTON BUREAU

October 10, 2004


From the front page of today's Newsday:

WASHINGTON - Drawing from corporations, inside-the-beltway law and lobbying firms, and think tanks, President George W. Bush has assembled the most cohesive and conservative administration in decades, according to presidential experts and a Newsday analysis of political appointments.

While President Ronald Reagan was more traditionally conservative, Bush has succeeded in making more consistently conservative, and business friendly, appointments from top to bottom, according to presidential experts.

"The Bush people have vetted every candidate for every agency, down to the least important appointee to the least important agency," said presidential appointment expert Paul Light, a public service professor at New York University and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

"They ask the hard questions," Light said. "If a candidate does not believe in their agenda, he is not going to be appointed."
