US Surgeon General Says He Won't Seek Reappointment
August 20, 2001 US Surgeon General David Satcher said he will not seek reappointment to the nation's top medical post when his term expires in February. He said he would consider "how I can best serve the nation" after his four-year term ends and will use his status to promote more medical research. Satcher's most prominent work involved disease prevention, mental health and AIDS campaigns. Administration officials have said they expect President Bush to appoint his own surgeon general in February. For his part, Satcher has never expected Bush to ask him to stay for a second term.
