Senate Commerce Postpones Nomination Hearing

The Senate Commerce Committee postponed this week’s nominations hearing. The committee declined to explain why or say when it would be rescheduled, though a committee aide told us Commerce’s hearing schedule is always subject to change. The hearing had initially been slated for Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. and may have included FCC Commissioner Michael O’Rielly, whom the White House nominated for a full term last month, a nomination committee Republicans hope to advance before year’s end (see 1411130051).
