Adm. David Stone (USN, Ret.) To Lead TSA
Homeland Security Secretary Tom
Ridge Friday announced the swearing-in of Admiral James Loy as the
Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Ridge also
announced Loy's replacement as acting TSA Administrator -- a
retired Navy admiral with plenty of experience at the helm of large
military operations.
Loy formerly served as the Administrator of the Transportation
Security Administration until he was nominated by President Bush in
October. Before his service at the Transportation Security
Administration, Loy served as Commandant of the Coast Guard from
1998-2002. Loy served tours aboard six Coast Guard cutters,
including command of a patrol boat in combat during the Vietnam War
and command of major cutters in both the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans.
"I am pleased that Loy has been appointed and sworn in as Deputy
Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. The skills that
he brings to the position as a leader and administrator are
invaluable. His talent and knowledge of issues important to
Homeland Security will benefit the nation, as well as this
Department. I congratulate Jim, and I look forwarding to working
closely with him," said Secretary Ridge.
Ridge designated Admiral David Stone
to serve as the Acting Administrator of the Transportation Security
Administration. Stone currently serves the Transportation Security
Administration as the Deputy Chief of Staff.
Prior to his service at TSA, Admiral Stone was the Federal
Security Director at the Los Angeles International Airport. A
retired US Navy officer, Admiral Stone served several assignments
in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations and as Commander of
the Nimitz Battlegroup and Commander of NATO's Naval Force
Mediterranean.
