Like Noah's ark, the Senate Banking Committee often considersnominees in pairs.
|That's why when NCUA Board nominee Carla Leon-Decker has aconfirmation hearing she probably won't be flying solo.
|On the same day that the Obama administration announced her nomination last week, it also announced that ithad picked Thomas Hoenig to become vice chairman of the FDICBoard.
|The Senate Banking Committee hasn't announced a hearing date yetfor either nominee.
|Hoenig, a Republican who was recently president of the FederalReserve Bank of Kansas City, was nominated at the recommendation ofSenate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
|Leon-Decker, who would succeed NCUA Board Member Gigi Hyland, is the president/CEO of the $47 million District Government Employees FCU in Washington, D.C.
|The Senate left town for a one-week recess after the nominationswere announced.
|Nominees to the FDIC and the NCUA don't usually generate muchcontroversy on Capitol Hill. However, given that it is closed to apresidential election year, delays are possible.
