On 18 September 2014, the Senate confirmed Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall as the US Department of Energy鶹ýӳs Deputy Secretary.

鶹ýӳLiz鶹ýӳs confirmation comes at a historic time in our nation鶹ýӳs energy evolution,鶹ýӳ said Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz. 鶹ýӳShe joins us with deep expertise in the Department鶹ýӳs nuclear security mission, including both nuclear weapons and countering proliferation. Her extensive public service and recent responsibilities on the White House National Security team position her to contribute to the Department鶹ýӳs energy and security missions in a major way, both domestically and internationally. I thank the Senate for their attention to Liz鶹ýӳs nomination, and look forward to working closely with her as a key, trusted colleague.鶹ýӳ

As Deputy Secretary, Dr. Sherwood-Randall will support Secretary Moniz in the management and operation of the Department of Energy. She will have responsibility for enhancing DOE鶹ýӳs delivery of results for the American people, including: strengthening project oversight and management; ensuring the safety, security and effectiveness of the nation鶹ýӳs nuclear weapons and advancing the Administration鶹ýӳs nonproliferation agenda; supporting the vital contributions of our unique national laboratory network; and promoting the Administration鶹ýӳs 鶹ýӳall-of-the-above鶹ýӳ energy strategy for a low carbon future and a strong economy.

"I am deeply honored by President Obama鶹ýӳs nomination to this new role and by the trust the Senate has placed in me by confirming me today,鶹ýӳ said Dr. Sherwood-Randall. 鶹ýӳI am excited to have this opportunity to serve with Secretary Moniz and the multi-talented Energy Department staff, whose mission is vital to a strong economy and to our national security.鶹ýӳ
