Bush Waiting on Staff Recommendations

WASHINGTON -- Signaling possible further changes to his staff, President Bush said Tuesday that he looks forward to recommendations from his new chief of staff on "how to get the White House to function in an effective way."

Budget director Joshua Bolton is preparing to take over leadership of the president's staff soon from Andrew Card, who resigned last week.

"I told Josh that he will organize the White House in such a way that he is comfortable with and that meets my needs," Bush responded when asked if there would be far-reaching changes at the White House under Bolton. "And my needs are to have good crisp information so I can make decisions on behalf of the American people. I look forward to Josh's recommendations as to how to get this White House to -- for the last two and a half years of my administration -- to continue to function in an effective way."
