Senate approves deputy defense secretary

0

The Senate voted 93-4 Wednesday afternoon to confirm William Lynn as deputy defense secretary.

During his January confirmation hearing, several senators questioned Lynn’s past as a senior lobbyist for Raytheon Co. of Waltham, Mass., a top Pentagon contractor. President Barack Obama had initially taken a hard line against lobbyists, saying they would have no place in his administration, but later softened his position.
