President
Bush nominated Nancy Goodman Brinker, a philanthropist who founded a top breast
cancer research group, to the top protocol job at the State Department.
Brinker,
nominated Monday, would plan visits by foreign heads of state in the role,
which is an ambassador-level post.
Goodman
founded the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in 1982, named for her
sister who died of cancer in 1980.
Brinker,
who is prominent in the Republican Jewish Coalition, has also served as U.S.
ambassador to Hungary.
