Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta hailed the appointment of former U.S. Secret Service chief John Magaw as Under Secretary for Transportation Security.

President Bush appointed Magaw to the post, from which Magaw will serve as the head of the newly authorized Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The TSA, chartered by Congress last year following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, will take over transportation security nationwide, beginning with aviation security.
Magaw is an Ohio native whose federal career also includes leadership of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and most recently a senior position at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
