WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President-elect Barack Obama's national security adviser, Gen. Jim Jones, said Monday the challenge he will face will be to achieve consensus among the disparate members of the new president's national security team.
Jones will be working with a number of high-profile Cabinet members, including Sen. Hillary Clinton as the new secretary of state, and Robert Gates, President Bush's current secretary of defense.
Jones said he needs to ensure the president-elect's vision is achieved.
"At the end of the day, [on] the major issues, he will make the decision and everyone will salute smartly and carry it out," Jones said in a phone interview soon after the official announcement in Chicago, Illinois, of Obama's national security team.
