Senator delays confirmation vote of Duckworth as VA official | Federal Times | federaltimes.com: "Disabled Iraq war veteran Tammy Duckworth's hopes of having a Friday swearing-in ceremony at Walter Reed Army Medical Center to become part of the Obama administration are on hold because the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee won't be voting today on her nomination.
Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, ranking Republican on the veterans' committee, objected to allowing a vote on Duckworth's nomination but will allow a vote today to confirm Scott Gould to take the No. 2 post at VA, as deputy secretary."
