White House Nominates Sumwalt as NTSB Chairman
Sumwalt has served as acting chair since the end of March.

The White House formally has nominated Robert Sumwalt to become the 14th chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, a move that would make permanent the position he has held in an acting capacity since the end of March. The nomination, sent to the Senate in late June, would be for a two-year term. The White House previously this spring also had formally re-nominated Sumwalt to another five-year term. The confirmation of his re-nomination awaits full Senate action.
