Oilman Touted for Navy Job
From a Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has asked
President Bush to nominate Colin McMillan, an oilman and former defense
official, as the next secretary of the Navy, defense officials said Tuesday.
McMillan, a former Marine and a defense official in the first Bush
administration, runs Permian Explorations Corp. of New Mexico. McMillan
might have to divest some of his holdings to meet ethics standards, officials
said.
If nominated and approved by the Senate, the 67-year-old resident of
Roswell, N.M., would take the top civilian job in the Navy, which has been
vacant since Gordon England left in January to go to the Department of
Homeland Security.
The move marks the latest in ongoing shifts among the chiefs of the armed
services, as Rumsfeld seeks to remake the military in part by moving
like-minded officials into top jobs. On April 25, Rumsfeld asked Army
Secretary Thomas White to quit, and he is expected to move the current Air
Force secretary, James Roche, to oversee changes in the structure of the
Army, Pentagon insiders said.
