On July 8th, retired U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Charles Bolden and former NSS Executive Director Lori Garver sat before the U.S. Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee for their confirmation hearing. The Committee Chairman John Rockefeller (D-WV) opened up the hearing by allowing others to speak for the nominees, where they both received overwhelming support. Ranking member Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) offered her support and said, "I believe the Administration has chosen well with these nominees. They both have the depth and breadth of experience that I believe will be needed to keep NASA and our nation moving forward and securing our leadership in space exploration."
