Tauscher Tapped For Arms Control Post, Sources Say

WASHINGTON (AP) ― A Bay Area congresswoman with experience in military matters is the Obama administration's choice to be under secretary of state for arms control and international security.

Congressional and administration sources told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Rep. Ellen O. Tauscher of the 10th District is the administration's pick. The sources requested anonymity because the announcement is not official.

Tauscher was a supporter of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton when she ran for the Democratic presidential nomination last year. The State Department post requires Senate confirmation.

Tauscher chairs the House Armed Services Committee's subcommittee on strategic forces. She also is head of the New Democrats, a centrist group of House Democrats.
