The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee on May 21 favorably reported PN2612, the nomination of Paul Devar to be Deputy Secretary of Commerce, by voice and roll call in executive session.
Senator Blackburn moved the motion to report the nomination favorably; the motion was seconded and the clerk called the roll. The committee recorded 17 ayes and 11 noes and ordered the nomination reported favorably to the full Senate.
