FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Dec 10, 2009

Dear Colleagues:

More good news! The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee today voted to send Patrick Corvington’s nomination to the Senate floor. This is an important step in the process. The full Senate must now take up Patrick’s nomination and the timing on that remains uncertain. We will be sure to let you know as things develop. In the meantime, click here for background on Patrick, and here for more about the confirmation process.
