Secretary-Designate Mabus Clears One Hurdle

From the Navy Times this morning:

The Senate Armed Services Committee recommended Thursday that the full Senate vote to approve the nominations of Navy Secretary-designate Ray Mabus, Navy Undersecretary-designate Robert Work and other nominees for civilian Pentagon posts.

Mabus and Work’s nominations were part of a group approved by voice vote, according to a committee announcement. It wasn’t clear how long it could be before the full Senate votes on whether to confirm the nominees.

Congratulations to Ray Mabus -- and on to the Senate!
