Presidential Appointments to Full-Time Positions
in Independent and Other Agencies
During the 107th Congress
Summary
During the 107th Congress, 109 nominations to full-time positions in
independent and other agencies were submitted to the Senate. Of these nominations,
three were submitted by President Clinton before he left office and were withdrawn
by President Bush on March 19, 2001. President Bush submitted 106 nominations,
of which 94 were confirmed, 10 were returned to him, and two were withdrawn.
President Clinton made three recess appointments to these positions during the
intersession between the 106th and 107th Congresses; all expired at the end of the firstth
session of the 107 Congress. President Bush did not make any recess appointments
to these positions between the beginning of his Administration and the end of theth

107 Congress.


This report discusses nominations to full-time positions in 37 executive branch
organizations (25 independent agencies, six agencies in the Executive Office of the
President (EOP), and six multilateral banking organizations) and four legislative
branch agencies. It excludes appointments to executive departments and to
regulatory and other boards and commissions, which are covered in other reports.
Information for this report was compiled from data from the Senate nominations
database of the Legislative Information System at [http://www.congress.gov/nomis/],
the Congressional Record (daily edition), the Weekly Compilation of Presidential
Documents, and telephone discussions with agency officials. The report will not be
updated.

Presidential Appointments to
Full-Time Positions in Independent and
th
Other Agencies During the 107 Congress
Introduction
This report provides an overview of the process for filling positions to which the
President makes appointments with the advice and consent of the Senate.1 It also
identifies, for the 107th Congress, all nominations to full-time positions requiring
Senate confirmation in 37 organizations in the executive branch (25 independent
agencies, six agencies in the Executive Office of the President (EOP), and six
multilateral banking organizations) and four agencies in the legislative branch.2 A
profile of each agency tracks the agency’s nominations, providing information on
Senate activity (confirmations, rejections, returns to the President, and elapsed time
between nomination and confirmation) as well as further related presidential activity
(including withdrawals and recess appointments). The profiles also identify, for each
agency, positions requiring Senate confirmation, the incumbents in those positions
as of January 3, 2003, dates they were confirmed, dates their terms expire, if
applicable, and pay levels.

Appointments During the 107th Congress
During the 107th Congress, 109 nominations to full-time positions in
independent and other agencies were submitted to the Senate. Of these nominations,
three were submitted by President Clinton before he left office and were withdrawn
by President Bush on March 19, 2001. President Bush submitted 106 nominations,
of which 94 were confirmed, 10 were returned, and two were withdrawn. President
Clinton made three recess appointments to these positions during the intersession
between the 106th and 107th Congresses, all of which expired at the end of the first
session of the 107th Congress. President Bush did not make any recess appointments
to these positions between the beginning of his Administration and the end of the
107th Congress. Table 1 summarizes the appointment activity. The number of
nominations submitted to the Senate exceeds the number of individual nominees
because, due to the return of pending nominations at the August 2001 recess, as
discussed below, eight nominees were nominated twice to the same position. In
addition, two individuals, Sean O’Keefe and Mark W. Everson, were nominated to
two different positions.

Average Time to Confirm a Nomination
The length of time a given nomination may be pending in the Senate varies
widely. Some nominations are confirmed within a few days, others may not be
confirmed for several months, and some are never confirmed. This report provides,
for each agency nomination that was confirmed in the 107th Congress, the number of
days between nomination and confirmation (“days to confirm”). Some Senate recess
days are not included in this sum because Senators are unable to take up nominations
on these days. For practical reasons, only days from the longer recesses around
August and between congressional sessions are excluded. These recesses are often
longer than 30 days. This cutoff point is suggested by the Senate rules, which
provide that “if the Senate shall adjourn or take recess for more than thirty days, all
nominations pending and not finally acted upon” shall be returned to the President,



although this rule is often waived.3 The 32 days during the August 2002 recess and
the 33 days between the first and second sessions of the 107th Congress were
subtracted from the “days to confirm” for those nominations that spanned one or both
recesses. No days were subtracted for the August 2001 recess, because, as discussed
below, all pending nominations were returned prior to that recess.
An accurate calculation of the average time the Senate took to confirm a
nomination in the 107th Congress is made more challenging by an unusual
characteristic of the session. Senate rules provide that “if the Senate shall adjourn
or take a recess for more than thirty days, all nominations pending and not finally
acted upon at the time” shall be returned to the President.4 Usually the Senate agrees,
by unanimous consent, to waive this rule and retain pending nominations over their
recesses. Prior to the 31-day August 2001 recess, however, the Senate did not reach
such an agreement, and 162 pending nominations, eight of which are among those
covered by this report, were returned to the President.5 The President sent forward
some of these nominees again after the recess. Those nominations were considered
to be new nominations, rather than continuations of the pre-recess nominations. As
a result, when such nominations are confirmed, the length of the confirmation
process, as shown in the tables of this report as “days to confirm,” does not include
any pre-recess time during which the nominee was under consideration in the Senate.
Consequently, the average is smaller than it would be if the pre- and post-recess
nomination times were added together. For example, the average number of days to
confirm for nominations to the positions covered by this report is 60 days, but if the
pre-recess days during which a nominee was under consideration in the Senate were
included for all confirmed nominees, this average would be 61 days. Footnotes for
appointment action tables for each agency (below) provide figures that take such pre-
recess time into account. In general, however, comparisons between average
confirmation times from this report and those from previous reports should be made
cautiously.

the first and second sessions of the 107 Congress. Sen. Harry Reid, “Nominations to
Remain in Status Quo Notwithstanding the Adjournment of the Senate,” Congressional

nominations, Otto Reich, to be Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs,
and Colonel David R. Leffarge, to be Brigadier General, were returned to the President.

The Appointments Process
The President and the Senate share the power to appoint the principal officers6
of the United States. The Constitution (Article II, Section 2) empowers the
President to nominate and, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to
appoint the principal officers of the United States. Three distinct stages mark the
appointment process — selection and nomination, confirmation, and appointment.
Selection and Nomination. In this stage, the President selects the nominee
and sends the nomination to the Senate. There are a number of steps in the
President’s selection. First, with the assistance of the White House Office of
Presidential Personnel, the President selects a candidate for the position. The
candidate then prepares and submits several forms: the “Public Financial Disclosure
Report” (Standard Form (SF) 278), the “Questionnaire for National Security
Positions” (SF 86), and the White House “Personal Data Statement Questionnaire.”
The Office of the Counsel to the President oversees the clearance process, with
background investigations conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),
Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Office of Government Ethics (OGE), and ethics
official for the agency to which the candidate is to be appointed. If conflicts are
found during the background check, OGE and the agency ethics officer may work
with the candidate to mitigate the conflicts. Once the Counsel has cleared the
candidate, the nomination is ready to be submitted to the Senate. The selection and
vetting stage is often the longest part of the appointment process. There can be
lengthy delays, particularly if many candidates are being processed, as they are at the
beginning of an Administration, or if conflicts need to be resolved. Candidates for
higher-level positions are often accorded priority in this process.
For positions located within a state (U.S. attorney, U.S. marshal, and U.S.
district judge), the President, by custom, normally nominates an individual
recommended by the Senator or Senators (if they are from the same party as the
President) from that state. If neither Senator is from the President’s party, he usually
defers to the recommendations of party leaders from the state. Occasionally, the
President solicits recommendations from Senators of the opposition party because of
their positions in the Senate. Before making a nomination to a federal position at the
state or national level, the President must consider how it will fare in the
confirmation process.
A nominee has no legal authority to assume the duties and responsibilities of the
position; the authority comes with Senate confirmation and presidential appointment.
A nominee who is hired as a consultant while awaiting confirmation may serve only
in an advisory capacity. If circumstances permit and conditions are met, the
President may give the nominee a recess appointment or a temporary appointment to
the position (see below). Recess appointments may have political consequences,
however, particularly if Senators perceive that an appointment is an effort to
circumvent their constitutional role.


6A succinct historical and contemporary overview of the appointment power is found in
Louis Fisher, “Appointment Powers,” in his Constitutional Conflicts between Congress andth
the President, 4 ed. (Lawrence, KS: University Press of Kansas, 1997), pp. 22-48.

Confirmation.7 In the confirmation or second stage, the Senate alone
determines whether to approve or disapprove a nomination. The way the Senate acts
on a nomination depends largely on the importance of the position involved, existing
political circumstances, and policy implications. Generally, the Senate shows
particular interest in the nominees’ views and how they are likely to affect public
policy.8 Two other factors may also affect the scrutiny with which a nominee’s
personal and professional qualities are examined: whether or not the President’s party
controls the Senate and the degree to which he becomes involved in supporting the
nomination.
Although the Senate confirms most nominations, no President can safely assume
that his nominees will be approved routinely. Rarely, however, does a rejection
occur on the Senate floor. Nearly all rejections occur in committee, either by
committee vote or by committee inaction. Rejections in committee occur for a
variety of reasons, including opposition to the nomination, inadequate amount of
time for consideration of the nomination, or factors that may have nothing to do with
the merits of the nomination. The most recent study of Senate confirmation action,
which looked at the period between 1981 and 1992, found that the Senate failed to
confirm 11% of all nominations to full-time positions in independent agencies.
During the same period, 9% of nominations to the executive departments and 22%9
of nominations to boards and commissions also failed.
Appointment. In the final stage, the confirmed nominee is given a
commission signed by the President, with the seal of the United States affixed
thereto, and is sworn into office. The President may sign the commission at any time
after confirmation. Under unusual circumstances, he may not sign it at all, thus
preventing the appointment. Once the appointee is given the commission and sworn
in, he or she has full authority to carry out the responsibilities of the office.
Recess Appointments
The appointment process also enables the President to make an appointment
without Senate confirmation when the Senate is in recess, either during a session

Senate Consideration of Presidential Nominations: Committee and Floor Procedure, by
Elizabeth Rybicki. For more information on the history of the confirmation process, see

Process: A Brief History, by Betsy Palmer.

Press, 1981), pp. 97-189.
9CRS Report 93-464 GOV, Senate Action on Nominations to Policy Positions in the
Executive Branch, 1981-1992, by Rogelio Garcia (archived; contact Henry Hogue for more
information). The study did not include nominations submitted by Presidents Carter and
Reagan in the last months of their administrations, or nominations submitted within a month
of the Senate’s adjournment at the end of a session. It also excluded nominations to the
judiciary, military services, Foreign Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration Officer Corps, and Public Health Service Officer Corps, as well as
nominations to all ambassadorial, U.S. attorney, U.S. marshal, and part-time positions.

(intrasession recess appointment) or between sessions (intersession recess
appointment). Recess appointments expire at the end of the next session of
Congress.10
Presidents have occasionally used the recess appointment power to circumvent
the confirmation process. In response, Congress has placed restrictions on the
President’s authority to make a recess appointment. Under 5 U.S.C. 5503(a), if the
position to which the President makes a recess appointment falls vacant while the
Senate is in session, the recess appointee may not be paid from the Treasury until he
or she is confirmed by the Senate. The salary prohibition does not apply: (1) if the
vacancy arose within 30 days before the end of the session; (2) if a nomination for
the office (other than the nomination of someone given a recess appointment during
the preceding recess) was pending when the Senate recessed; or (3) if a nomination
was rejected within 30 days before the end of the session and another individual was
given the recess appointment. A recess appointment falling under any one of these
three exceptions must be followed by a nomination to the position not later than 40
days after the beginning of the next session of the Senate.11 For this reason, when a
recess appointment is made, the President generally submits a new nomination for
the nominee even when an old nomination is pending.12 In addition, although recess
appointees whose nominations to a full term are subsequently rejected by the Senate
may continue to serve until the end of their recess appointment, a provision of the
Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act may prevent them from being
paid after their rejection.13
Temporary Appointments
Congress has provided limited statutory authority for the temporary filling of
vacant positions requiring Senate confirmation. Under the Federal Vacancies Reform14
Act of 1998, when an executive agency position requiring confirmation becomes
vacant, it may be filled temporarily in one of three ways: (1) the first assistant to such
a position may automatically assume the functions and duties of the office; (2) the
President may direct an officer in any agency who is occupying a position requiring
Senate confirmation to perform those tasks; or (3) the President may select any


10Art. II, Sec. 2, Cl. 3 of the Constitution.
11Congress placed limits on payments to recess appointees as far back as 1863. The current
provisions date from 1940 (ch. 580, 54 Stat. 751, 5 U.S.C. 56, revised, and recodified at 5
U.S.C. 5503, by P.L. 89-554, 80 Stat. 475). For a legal history and overview of recess
appointments, see CRS Report 87-832 A, Recess Appointments: Legal Overview, by
Richard C. Ehlke (archived; contact the author for more information).

Appointments: Frequently Asked Questions, by Henry B. Hogue; and CRS Report RL30821,
Recess Appointments Made by President Clinton, by Rogelio Garcia.
13P.L. 108-7, sec. 609; 117 Stat. 465. The provision reads, “No part of any appropriation for
the current fiscal year contained in this or any other Act shall be paid to any person for the
filling of any position for which he or she has been nominated after the Senate has voted not
to approve the nomination of said person.” This provision has been part of this annual
funding activity since at least 1950.
14P.L. 105-277, Div. C, Title I, sec. 151; 5 U.S.C. 3345-3349d

officer or employee of the subject agency who is occupying a position, for which the
rate of pay is equal to or greater than the minimum rate of pay at the GS-15 level, and
who has been with the agency for at least 90 of the preceding 365 days. The
temporary appointment is for 210 days, but the time restriction is suspended if a first
or second nomination for the position is pending. In addition, during a presidential
transition, the 210-day restriction period does not begin to run until either 90 days
after the President assumes office, or 90 days after the vacancy occurs, if it is within
the 90-day inauguration period. The act does not apply to positions on multi-headed
regulatory boards and commissions and to certain other specific positions which may
be filled temporarily under other statutory provisions.15
Organization of this Report
Agency Profiles. The agency profiles provide data on presidential
nominations and appointments to full-time positions requiring Senate confirmation,16
and Senate action on the nominations. Data on appointment actions during the

107th Congress appear in two tables for each agency, “Appointment Action Duringth


107 Congress” and “Positions and Incumbents in Department.” As noted, some
agencies had no appointment activity during this period of time.
The appointment action table provides, in chronological order, information
concerning each nomination. It shows the name of the nominee, position involved,
date of nomination or appointment, date of confirmation, and number of days
between receipt of a nomination and confirmation. As discussed earlier (see
“Average Time to Confirm a Nomination,” above), the numbers of days shown in the
tables in this report exclude days during the longer recesses around August and
between sessions of Congress. Actions other than confirmation (i.e., nominations
rejected by the Senate and nominations returned to or withdrawn by the President)
are also noted. Some nominees are nominated more than once for the same position,
either because the first nomination is returned to the President, as discussed below,
or because of a recess appointment. When a nominee is awaiting Senate action and
he or she is given a recess appointment, a second, follow-up, nomination is usually
submitted to comply with the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 5503(b).


15For more on the Vacancies Act, see CRS Report 98-892, The New Vacancies Act:
Congress Acts to Protect the Senate’s Confirmation Prerogative, by Morton Rosenberg.
16This report was compiled from data from the Senate nominations database of the
Legislative Information System at [http://www.congress.gov/nomis/], the Congressional
Record (daily edition), the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents, and telephone
discussions with agency officials. Information concerning position incumbents was also
drawn from nomination and confirmation data supplemented by information from the
following two federal agency directories: Carroll Publishing, Carroll’s Federal Directory:
November/December 2002 (Bethesda, MD: Carroll Publishing, 2002) and CQ Press,th
2002/Fall Federal Staff Directory, 40 ed. (Washington: CQ Press, 2002). Where
information from the two directories was in conflict, the information from Carroll’s Federal
Directory, which was more consistent with data from the Senate nominations database, was
used.

Where there has been more than one confirmed nomination in an agency, this
table also shows the average number of days the Senate has taken to confirm the
agency’s nominations. This figure is determined by calculating the number of days
between the nomination and confirmation dates, adding these numbers for all
confirmed nominations, and dividing the result by the number of nominations
confirmed. This average should be used cautiously. As discussed earlier, the Senate
took the unusual step of returning all nominations to the President prior to the August
2001 recess. Many of those whose nominations were returned were re-nominated
after the recess. Consequently, these individuals were nominated twice, and the days
that elapsed while their first nominations were pending in the Senate are not included
in the calculation of the average days to confirm a nomination. As a result, this
average time is shorter than it would be otherwise.
The second table of each profile identifies the agency’s full-time positions
requiring Senate confirmation and the incumbents in those positions as of January 3,
2003. An incumbent’s name followed by “(A)” indicates an official who is serving
in an acting capacity. A blank space indicates that either the position is vacant or
current information about the position-holder was not available. The table also
includes the pay level for each position. For presidentially-appointed positions
requiring Senate confirmation, the pay levels generally fall under the Executive
Schedule, which ranges from Level I ($171,900) for cabinet level offices to Level V
($125,400) for the lowest-ranked positions.17
Additional Appointment Information. Appendix A presents a table of all
nominations to positions in all of the agencies covered by this report, alphabetically
organized and following a similar format to that of the agency appointment action
tables. It identifies the agency involved and the dates of nomination and
confirmation. The table also indicates if a nomination was confirmed, withdrawn,
returned, or rejected. The average number of days taken to confirm a nomination is
calculated as described above, and the same caution is advised.
Appendix B provides a table with summary information on appointments and
nominations by four agency categories: independent executive agencies, agencies in
EOP, multilateral banking organizations, and agencies in the legislative branch. For
each of these categories, the table provides the number of positions, nominations,
individual nominees, confirmations, nominations returned, and nominations
withdrawn. The table also provides the average number of days to confirm a
nomination.
A list of department abbreviations can be found in Appendix C.


17The salary figures are as of Jan. 2003. For information on pay for federal officials, see
