Science Advisor nomination subject to a Senate “hold”
CQ politics reports that confirmation votes on President Obama’s nominees for Science Advisor, John Holdren, and undersecretary of Commerce for oceans and atmosphere, Jane Lubchenco, are being prevented due to anonymous holds on their nominations. An earlier report indicated the hold was due to a single senator (Sen. Menedez of New Jersey) unrelated to the nominees themselves.
