Obama sets the stage
WASHINGTON ln a
first-day flurry of activity,
President Barack Obama
set up shop in the Oval
Office, summoned advis
ers to begin dealing with
war and recession and
ordered new ethics rules
for “a clean break from
business as usual.”
He also froze salaries
for top White House staff
members, placed phone
calls to Mideast leaders
and had aides circulate a
draft executive order that
would close the detention
center at Guantanamo
Bay within a year.
“The way to make gov
ernment responsible is to
hold it accountable,”
Obama said as he unveiled
ethics rules that he por
trayed as the fulfillment
of a major campaign
promise. He said the
action was necessary “to
help restore that faith in
government without
which we cannot deliver
the changes we were sent

Devoting swift atten
tion to the Mideast tur
moil, Obama prepared to
name George Mitchell,
the former Senate
Democratic leader, a spe
cial envoy to the region.
In his phone calls to
Israeli, Palestinian,
Egyptian and Jordanian
leaders, Obama empha
sized that he would work
to consolidate the cease
fire between Israel and
Hamas in Gaza, said the
new White House press
secretary, Robert Gibbs.
Gibbs said Obama
expressed “his commit
ment to active engage
ment in pursuit of Arab-
Israeli peace from the
beginning of his term.”

draw U.S. troops from the
unpopular war in Iraq on
a 16-month timetable.
At the open house,
Obama and his wife,
Michelle, shook hands
with a line of guests
streaming through the
Blue Room, some of them
moved to tears by the
experience.
“Enjoy yourself, roam
around,” a smiling Qbama
told one guest as he
passed through the room.
“Don’t break anything.”
The shift in adminis
trations was underscored
in far-off Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba, where a judge
granted Obama's request
to suspend the war crimes
trial of a young Canadian.
This move possibly
marked the beginning of
the end for the former
administration’s system
of trials for alleged terror
ists.

NEW YORK Officials
in New York City say div
ers have found the jet
engine that broke off a US
Airways plane that crash
landed in the Hudson
River.
New York City and State
Police said the divers con
firmed Wednesday after
noon that an object detect
ed by sonar near the
Intrepid Sea, Air and

ing engine.
The airliner’s other
engine remained attached
to the right wing of the
plane.
The Airbus A320 crash
landed in the Hudson on
Thursday after hitting
birds and losing thrust
from both engines. All 155
people on board survived.
The rest of the plane
has been taken to a New
Jersey marina to be stud
ied by investigators.
