Bush moved Monday to replace outgoing Commission on Civil Rights Chairwoman Mary Frances Berry and vice chairman Cruz Reynoso. Berry, who has been on the commission since 1980, has argued that her ousting is premature and that her term does not expire until Jan. 21, 2005. Bush replaced Berry with Gerald Reynolds, a former assistant secretary in the Department of Education's Civil Rights Office. Abigail Thernstorm, a current Republican commission member, will assume the position of vice chairman. Abbey Taylor, a former Virginia attorney general, will fill Reynoso's vacancy. Kirk Van Tine has handed in his resignation as deputy secretary of transportation. No replacement has been announced.
