Rick Perry on Managing the Nuclear Stockpile: ‘I Know About Identifying Good Talent’

EXCERPT:

PERRY: "Senator, I am not concerned that the continuity of protecting our stockpile is going to be in place. As I said earlier, we have sent the message. We have interviewed the existing staff. I don’t think anyone would say here, I hope not anyway, and say you will keep every person that there is over there without interviewing them and having interaction. I -- I will suggest to you my 14 years of governing Texas and being the CEO of the 12th largest economy in the world, I know about identifying good talent, putting them into place. And I -- I will interview appropriately. But as I shared with Senator Heinrich the administration has the final decision on a presidential appointment."
