Obama Names Jewell to Interior Post at the White House

Under a portrait of Abraham Lincoln in the State Dining Room, U.S. President Barack Obama (C) announces Sally Jewell, chief executive officer of Recreational Equipment Inc., as his nominee to become secretary of the U.S. Interior Department as the present Interior Secretary Ken Salazar (L) looks on at the White House in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, February 6, 2013. Obama said Jewell's background as an engineer and experience in the banking, energy and retail industries give her the skills needed to manage a department that oversees 500 million acres of public land.
