Deputy secretary to leave Labor Department

Department was the first Cabinet agency to win top scores across all the main categories on the Bush administration’s quarterly management score card.

Steven Law will leave his post as the deputy secretary of the Labor Department in January, officials announced Thursday.

During his nearly six-year tenure with the Bush administration, Labor became the first Cabinet agency to win all "green" scores, including for e-government, from the White House Office of Management and Budget on the President's Management Agenda.

The White House measures e-government performance by issuing quarterly scorecards on how well agencies are executing the president's initiatives.

Law is a member of the President's Management Council and the chairman of its e-government committee, a council of deputy secretaries, senior agency leaders and chief information officers that oversees progress on the initiatives.
