Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote was named to the Bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform by U.S. President Barack Obama. The 18-member commission, which will be co-chaired by former White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles and former Republican Senate Whip Alan Simpson, will make recommendations to Congress by December 1, 2010 on how to balance the U.S. budget by 2015 and improve the country’s long-term fiscal outlook.
“I am proud that these distinguished individuals have agreed to work to build a bipartisan consensus to put America on the path toward fiscal reform and responsibility,” said President Obama. “I know they’ll take up their work with the sense of integrity and strength of commitment that the American people deserve and America’s future demands.”
