Question: What newly independent state did the second president Stephen Early was Press Secretary for support?
Context: Max Marlin Fitzwater (born November 24, 1942) was the White House Press Secretary for six years under presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, making him one of the longest-serving press secretaries in history.  He is one of three press secretaries (along with Stephen Early and Pierre Salinger) to serve in the position under two different presidents. The James S. Brady Press Briefing Room is a small theater in the West Wing of the White House where the White House Press Secretary gives briefings to the news media and the President of the United States sometimes addresses the press and the nation.  It is located between the workspace assigned to the White House press corps and the office of the Press Secretary. Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884December 26, 1972) was the 33rd President of the United States (1945–53), assuming that office upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt during the waning months of World War II.  He is known for launching the Marshall Plan to rebuild the economy of Western Europe, for leading the Cold War against Soviet and Chinese communism by establishing the Truman Doctrine and NATO, and for intervening in the Korean War.  In domestic affairs, he was a moderate Democrat whose liberal proposals were a continuation of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, but the conservative-dominated Congress blocked most of them.  He used the veto power 180 times, more than any president since then, and saw 12 overridden by Congress; only Grover Cleveland and Franklin D. Roosevelt used the veto so often, and only Gerald Ford and Andrew Johnson saw so many veto overrides.  He is also the only world leader to have ever used nuclear weapons in war, desegregated the U.S. Armed Forces, supported a newly independent Israel, and was a founder of the United Nations. Eric Schultz is a senior advisor to former President Barack Obama and is the founder of Schultz Group.  Schultz is a former White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary and special assistant to President Obama.  Recognized by "Politico" as the strategist “White House officials turn to in a crisis to handle communications,” Schultz was originally hired at the White House in 2011 to respond to Congressional oversight investigations.  After White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest replaced Jay Carney to become White House Press Secretary, Schultz was appointed White House Deputy Press Secretary.  In this role, Schultz often diffuses "tensions with humor.  But he can be relentless in pushing his message in both public and private conversations.”  Former White House Communications Director Jen Psaki compared Schultz to fictional crisis manager Olivia Pope, "he's the person you want next to you in a foxhole when there's a crisis."  At the end of President Obama's second term, former White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett said of Schultz, “We’ve all grown to rely on his wise counsel" and that the President "trusts his sound judgement." Stephen Tyree Early (August 27, 1889 – August 11, 1951) was a U.S. journalist and government official.  He served as White House Press Secretary under Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1945 and again under President Harry S. Truman in 1950 after the sudden death of Charles Griffith Ross.  Early served as press secretary longer than any other person.  Early was a grandson of Confederate General Jubal Early. Tan Sri Datuk Amar Stephen Kalong Ningkan (1920–1997) was the first Chief Minister of Sarawak (1963–1966).  As the executive of a newly independent state which helped to form Malaysia, Ningkan faced many challenges from within the state and from Sarawak's neighbour, Indonesia. A press gaggle (as distinct from a press conference or press briefing) is an informal briefing by the White House Press Secretary which (as used by press secretaries for the George W. Bush administration) is on the record, but disallows videography.  The term can refer to the informal interactions between the press and the press secretary that occur before a videotaped press briefing. The Jefferson Memorial is a presidential memorial in Washington, D.C., dedicated to Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), one of the most important of the American Founding Fathers as the main drafter and writer of the Declaration of Independence, member of the Continental Congress, governor of the newly independent Commonwealth of Virginia, American minister to King Louis XVI and the Kingdom of France, first U.S. Secretary of State under the first President George Washington, the second Vice President of the United States under second President John Adams, and also the third President (1801–1809), as well as being the founder of the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, Virginia. Scott McClellan (born February 14, 1968) was White House Press Secretary (2003–06) for President George W. Bush, and author of a controversial No. 1 "New York Times" bestseller about the Bush Administration titled "What Happened".  He replaced Ari Fleischer as press secretary in July 2003 and served until May 10, 2006.  McClellan was the longest serving press secretary under George W. Bush. Joshua Ryan Henry Earnest (born January 22, 1975) is an American political aide who served as White House press secretary under President Barack Obama, from 2014 to 2017.  He succeeded Jay Carney as Obama's press secretary, in 2014, and was succeeded by President Donald Trump's first Presidential press secretary, Sean Spicer.
