Snow Can't Stop Johnson's Swearing In
By Robert Brodsky
After 10 months of waiting to be confirmed as GSA administrator, Martha Johnson wasn't about to let a little snowstorm to stop her from taking the oath of office.
On Sunday evening, Johnson was sworn into office--by telephone--at her home in Annapolis, Md. The oath was performed by Acting Administrator Steve Leeds and Johnson's husband, Steve, reportedly served as a witness.
Johnson was confirmed as the agency's first permanent and Senate-confirmed administrator on Thursday after enduring a long hold by Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo.
