"Jim Wilkinson [3], the well-traveled utility man for the Bush administration's PR team, is returning to the White House," PR Week's Douglas Quenqua writes. "Wilkinson will craft long-term messaging strategy for the National Security Council in the role of deputy national security advisor for communications. He will report to National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice [4] and White House communications director Dan Bartlett [5]. Most recently, Wilkinson served as communications director for the 2004 Republican Convention, which will take place in New York this August. Prior to that Wilkinson ran communications strategy for General Tommy Franks at US Central Command in Qatar."
