TL;DR
The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation has delayed its vote to consider Phil Washington's nomination as the head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Washington's nomination has faced resistance from Republican members of Congress over his slim aviation-related credentials and potential legal entanglements. The FAA has been operating without a permanent administrator for a year, and Washington's nomination has been delayed for eight months.
