Washington ? President-elect Obama on Wednesday named a team heavy on experience in the Clinton administration to help guide transition efforts in the State, Defense and Treasury departments.

In a statement, Obama revealed the agency review team leaders who will be responsible for reviewing budgets, personnel and policy in the three departments so the new administration can begin working as soon as he is sworn in on Jan. 20.

He named two leaders for each of the three agencies, and all six served in some capacity under President Clinton.

The list comes out a day after Obama announced an ethics policy that all transition officials must sign, agreeing to avoid work for him related to any of their lobbying activities for one year. Obama had railed against the influence of lobbyists over Washington in his campaign, but the policy allows lobbyists to work for him with restrictions that haven’t existed in previous administrations.

The Treasury team leads are Josh Gotbaum, an investment fund adviser who has experience in multiple federal agencies, and Michael Warren, chief operating officer of advisory firm Stonebridge International who was executive director of the President’s National Economic Council.

At State, the leads are Tom Donilon, a lawyer who was an assistant secretary of state, and Wendy Sherman, a principal of The Albright Group advisory firm and a former top State Department official.

The Defense team is being led by John P. White, chair of the Kennedy School Middle East Initiative at Harvard and a former deputy defense secretary, and Michele Flournoy, president of the Center for a New American Security who worked in the Pentagon under Clinton.
