The Foreign Service promotion list typically comes out in the fall. It looks like last year’s list was stuck in the Senate in 2014, and was resubmitted on January 13, 2015 to the 114th Congress. To-date, 181 names on this list are still stuck in the Committee on Foreign Relations (There are other names pending in committee under different lists, see all here). It also appears that one name on this list has been on ice at the SFRC since 2012. That’s right, 2012 — the year of the Arab Spring, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, and the year when Curiosity, the rover landed on Mars. What’s going on here?
