Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Suzie Nemmers for service on the Medical Advisory Board.

Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Suzie Nemmers from the Department of Transportation.

Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Dr. Nemmers' medical experience and knowledge qualify her for appointment to the Medical Advisory Board.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.
