Senate

To Members of the NASULGC System:
The Senate earlier today gave its unanimous approval to the
nomination of Gale A. Buchanan to be Under Secretary of
Agriculture for Research, Education, and Economics. Following
the Senate confirmation, the Secretary of Agriculture issued a
news release that contained the following biographical
information:
| Dr. Gale Buchanan will lead USDA's Research,
Education and Economics (REE) mission area as under
secretary. Buchanan served as dean and director
emeritus at the College of Agricultural and
Environmental Sciences at the University of Georgia
until April 2005. Earlier in his career he served
for 20 years on the Auburn University faculty before
moving to Georgia as associate director for the
Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station and resident
director of the Coastal Plain Experiment Station.
Buchanan received his bachelor's and master's
degrees from the University of Florida and his
doctorate degree from Iowa State University. |
Dr. Buchanan takes over from Dr. Joseph Jen. The land-grant system
is fortunate to have one of its own distinguished leaders in
this important post.
