Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) who has been asked to serve as Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee Chairman Edward Kennedy's (D-Mass.) chief deputy for health reform on the committee, met with prospective Health and Human Services secretary Tom Daschle today.

Dodd praised Daschle after the meeting in a statment issued by his office:
