The Honorable Linda W. Cropp Chairman
Council of the District of Columbia
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 504 
Washington, D.C. 20004

Dear Chairman Cropp:

Attached is a list of nominations for appointment to various boards and commissions that I have transmitted to the Council over the past several months that are pending before the Council. As my Administration is winding down, I have decided in deference to the incoming Mayor to defer making some new appointments. Thus, I am withdrawing the nominations specified in the attachment, effective today.

However, to ensure that the necessary operations of the District government continue with as few major interruptions as possible, I may still exercise my prerogative to submit a nomination to the Council for appointment to a board or commission that may be experiencing or will experience quorum problems prior to the end of the year. I will also consult with the incoming Mayor in those instances.

Sincerely,
Anthony A. Williams 
Mayor
