GSA’s Tangherlini has easy confirmation hearing

Dan Tangherlini encountered no apparent opposition to his nomination to head  the General Services Administration during his Senate confirmation hearing  June 18.

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), the ranking member of the Homeland Security and  Governmental Affairs Committee, said he would vote to confirm Tangherlini, whom  President Obama nominated  for GSA administrator in May.

Tangherlini has been the agency’s acting administrator since April 2012, when  he took over for Martha Johnson, who resigned  amid GSA’s conference spending scandal. GSA has had seven different  administrators since 2005, five of whom served as acting administrator and one  of whom was the acting administrator two different times. The only two  administrators who were confirmed by the Senate since 2005 were both forced to  resign.

Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), the committee chairman, said GSA had suffered as a  result of its lack of stable leadership.
