      "title": "Presidential Appointments to Full-Time Positions on Regulatory and Other Collegial Boards and Commissions, 106th Congress",
      "summary": "This report lists full-time positions, requiring Senate confirmation, in regulatory and other\ncollegial\nbodies. Incumbents in each position are identified, as are fixed-term positions, and the dates their\nterms of office expire. The report also provides information on the nominations made by President\nClinton to positions that were vacant or had incumbents whose terms had expired, and Senate actions\non the nominations. In addition, a brief profile of each board and commission indicates if political\nbalance is required among the members, and, if so, the political affiliation of the incumbent, and\nwhether an incumbent may remain in office when a term expires.\n During the 106th Congress, which adjourned on December 15, 2000, the President submitted\n76 nominations to positions on regulatory boards and commissions. Forty-two of the nominations\nwere confirmed, seven withdrawn and 27 returned. On average, the Senate took 83 days to confirm\na nomination. As of December 31, 2000, of 147 positions in 33 agencies, 19 were vacant, 17 were\nfilled by incumbents whose terms had expired, and 10 were filled by recess appointees. The rest\nwere filled by incumbents who had been confirmed by the Senate and whose term of office had not\nexpired.\n The report does not include organizations such as the Board for International Broadcasting, the\nLegal Services Corporation, and the United States Postal Service, whose members serve on a part-\ntime basis. Information for this report was obtained from the nominations file in LEGIS (a database\navailable from the Senate Computer Center), the  Congressional Record  (daily edition),\nfrom the\n Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents , and through telephone discussions with\nagency\nofficials.",
