Rosenker’s leadership of Safety Board extended
President Bush has appointed Mark Rosenker vice chairman of the NTSB for a two-year term that began August 9.

President Bush has appointed Mark Rosenker vice chairman of the NTSB for a two-year term that began August 9. He has been head of the agency, either as chairman or acting chairman, since March 2005.

Rosenker’s two-year term as chairman expired last month. Although Bush had nominated him for a second two-year term as chairman, the Senate failed to confirm him before leaving Washington for its vacation recess. The chairmanship requires separate Senate confirmation.
