There are many other people nominated for various positions, including William W. Mercer, of Montana, to be Associate Attorney General and to designate him Acting Associate Attorney General; Martin S. Feldstein as Member of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board; and Clay Aiken (yes, THAT Clay Aiken, I believe) as Member of the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities.
