WASHINGTON -- President Bush nominated Henrietta Holsman Fore of Las Vegas to be Under Secretary of State for management Wednesday. If confirmed by the Senate, Fore would be one of six under secretaries who report directly to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

The State Department said the six undersecretaries form the department's "corporate board" on foreign policy.

Fore now serves as director of the United States Mint, which is the world's largest manufacturer of coins, medals and coin products. The Mint generated $1.65 billion in revenue in 2004 and contributed $665 million in earnings to the U.S. Treasury, according to the Mint.

The Senate confirmed her position at the Mint on Aug. 3, 2001, according to the White House.

Before going to the Mint, Fore was chairman and president of Stockton Products, a wire and metal company with a manufacturing plant in Las Vegas.

She also served as chairman and chief executive officer of Holsman International, an investment and management company along with several other government appointments.
