Reed reacts to Obama picks

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama is set to fill out more than a third of his cabinet, naming members of his national security team and others.

His selections are expected to be announced Monday, and will include his chief Democratic rival for the nomination, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Officials say she’s Obama’s pick to be secretary of state.

Rhode Island Democratic Senator Jack Reed tells ABC’s “This Week” that Clinton and her husband will have to tread carefully to avoid the appearance of conflicts.

In order to make Clinton’s appointment possible, officials say, Bill Clinton had to agree to disclose the names of every contributor to his foundation, and to refuse donations from foreign governments to the Clinton Global Initiative. He also has to submit his speaking schedule for review, and to step away from day-to-day management of his foundation.

Reed praised the arrangement.
