President Obama intends to nominate veteran Rep. Melvin Watt to head the
Federal Housing Finance Agency, the government regulator that oversees lending
giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and he has chosen a former
cable and wireless industry lobbyist to head the Federal Communications
Commission, according to White House officials.If confirmed by the Senate
for the FHFA post, Watt, a North Carolina Democrat who has been
in Congress for 20 years, would replace Edward DeMarco, an appointee of
President George W. Bush, who has been a target of housing advocates,
liberal groups and Democratic lawmakers.Also on Wednesday, Obama plans to
nominate Tom Wheeler, one of his top campaign fundraisers, as the country's
top telecommunications regulator. He is expected to name FCC Commissioner
Mignon Clyburn to serve as acting chairwoman while Wheeler awaits Senate
confirmation.Wheeler raised more than $500,000 for Obama's re-election effort,
according to data provided by the campaign. He also contributed more than
$17,000 combined to Obama's re-election and to several Senate campaigns,
including Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine's successful effort.Wheeler
is former head of the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
and the National Cable Television Association. Since 2005, he has been a
venture capitalist at Core Capital Partners. Wheeler would replace outgoing
chairman Julius Genachowski, who announced in March he would be stepping
dow
ial activities."Roughly
half the department budget pays staff, which is far more than at
other agencies. The department argues that the sequester cuts, then, have
a significant impact on services -- seasonal hiring, for instance, had to
be drastically cut back, which impacts programs at national parks. Federal
agencies have each responded differently to the sequester. The Federal Aviation
Administration rattled lawmakers after it furloughed air traffic controllers,
leading to delays at major U.S. airports. Congress, though, intervened by
allowing the FAA to move money around, in turn canceling those furloughs.The
private business community also has stepped in. At Yellowstone National
Park, two cities stepped up when the National Park Service decided to
save money by plowing snow two weeks later than usual. This would
have delayed the clearing of four park gates well past the typical
May 1 opening, so city officials held a fundraiser and collected enough
money to pay the state to clear the roads, ensuring the gates
will be open on time.Coburn cited this as a positive example in
his letter, and urged the department to find more savings."I believe the
Department can continue to maintain this same level access even under sequestration,"
he wrote. "To accomplish this, the Department must prioritize its core mission,
eliminate unnecessary, wasteful, and duplicative programs, and find innovative
ways to do more with less."
