[0:02] >> President-elect Clinton appoints a
[0:03] second woman to his cabinet. Critics say
[0:06] that's not enough.
[0:08] In Somalia, US Marines come under fire
[0:11] and say things are getting more
[0:12] dangerous by the hour.
[0:15] And I on America, tonight the biggest
[0:18] revolution since television coming soon
[0:20] to a living room near you.
[0:22] >> We've solved America's greatest problem.

[0:30] >> This is the CBS Evening News.
[0:38] Good evening, Dan Rather reporting.
[0:40] President-elect Clinton named two more
[0:42] cabinet secretaries today. Dick Riley,
[0:44] former governor of South Carolina for
[0:46] education, and Hazel O'Leary, a utility
[0:48] executive from Minnesota, for energy.
[0:51] With just six full cabinet posts left to
[0:54] fill now, voices are being raised saying
[0:56] the president-elect has not kept his
[0:58] promise that he's putting too few women
[1:00] into high places. Susan Spencer is in
[1:02] Little Rock on the Clinton watch.
[1:06] >> Thank you. Hazel O'Leary's appointment
[1:08] puts exactly two women in the Clinton
[1:10] cabinet with a number of slots yet to be
[1:12] filled rapidly diminishing. But Clinton
[1:14] today bristled at suggestions that when
[1:16] it comes to women, more than half the
[1:18] population, he's reneging on his pledge
[1:20] to have a cabinet that looks like
[1:22] America. Nor, he said, has that promise
[1:24] tied his hands.
[1:26] >> I don't feel at all hamstrung.
[1:28] Uh I think I'm doing a good job picking
[1:30] people.
[1:31] I think they're good people. I don't
[1:32] have any quotas for anybody. I think
[1:34] that we'll have the most diverse cabinet
[1:37] that has ever
