HART TO LEAVE MARAD FOR 90 DAYS TO HEAD NEW AGENCY
Maritime Administrator Clyde Hart will leave his post for 90 days to temporarily head up the Motor Carrier Safety Administration, a new agency within the Department of Transportation.
Hart was chosen by Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater to get the new agency established.
Hart is expected to return to his job as maritime administrator in early September. John Graykowski, deputy maritime administrator, will serve as the acting maritime administrator in Hart's absence.
