Bush nominates Blair to head Postal Rate Commission
The White House yesterday confirmed that Dan Blair, deputy director of the Office of Personnel Management, and a former aide to Congressman John McHugh has been nominated to a seat on the Postal Rate Commission, “and upon confirmation designate Chairman”.
The nomination had been predicted last month by Linn’s columnist and veteran postal correspondent Bill McAllister, who wrote at the time that “Blair’s appointment to a five-year term is a highly significant move signaling that the administration wants a strong commission to oversee the Postal Service.”
