Both Florida Today and Orlando Sentinel report that the Senate Commerce Committee is expected to vote on the nominations of Charles Bolden and Lori Garver to be NASA administrator and deputy administrator as soon as this afternoon. The Sentinel says that the committee’s vote would take place this afternoon “in a room off the Senate floor.” (The committee has a busy schedule today, with a hearing in the morning and a nominations hearing for two FCC commissioners this afternoon.) Once the committee gives its endorsement, it will go to the full Senate for final confirmation. The hope is still to have the two confirmed this week.
