Quote:
William J. Lynn III, who has broad support in Congress, has been considered a shoo-in to become the next deputy defense secretary. But Democratic leaders said they would have to wait to act on the nomination until after Obama determines whether Lynn needs a waiver exempting him from the president's new rule that individuals cannot work for the government agencies they have lobbied in the past two years.
