U.S. Capitol
The U.S. Senate approved Daniel Edwards as assistant secretary of aviation and international affairs.

The U.S. Senate approved a slate of four dozen administration appointments on Monday, including Daniel Edwards as assistant secretary of aviation and international affairs and Michael Graham for another five-year term as a member of the NTSB. The 46-to-43 en bloc approval on Monday followed a procedural vote last week to clear the way for floor action.

The reappointment of Graham comes after the White House named him vice chairman of the NTSB, filling a slot vacated last year after the White House ousted Alvin Brown from the safety agency. A former naval aviator, Graham joined the Safety Board in January 2020 after serving as director of flight operations safety, security, and standardization at Textron Aviation and as chair of the Air Charter Safety Foundation.
