Trump withdraws pick for top NOAA job

摘要

The White House yesterday formally withdrew its nomination of Barry Myers, the former CEO of AccuWeatherInc., to lead NOAA.The move came as no surprise. Myers last month said he wanted to abandon his two-year bid to land theagency's top position after he had surgery for cancer and received chemotherapy.The full Senate never voted on President Trump's embattled nominee, even though the Commerce, Science andTransportation Committee sent his nomination to the floor three times in party-line votes.
