WASHINGTON (AP) - Lester Crawford's nomination to head the Food and Drug Administration won committee approval Wednesday, though it could still face some rough sledding before reaching the full Senate.
The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions approved the nomination on a voice vote. No date has been set for full Senate consideration of Crawford, currently acting commissioner of the agency.
Indeed, Sens. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., placed a hold on Crawford's nomination, blocking immediate consideration if it.
