A retired Army general whose controversial nomination for a senior civilian position at the Pentagon was put on hold last week has withdrawn from consideration and will instead take an appointment that does not require Senate approval.

Anthony J. Tata withdrew his name from consideration for undersecretary of defense for policy, after the Senate Armed Services Committee canceled his confirmation hearing on Thursday amid signs that he did not have enough votes to be confirmed. He instead has been tapped as the official performing the duties of the deputy undersecretary of defense for policy, a temporary position that does not require Senate confirmation.

 

โ€œHe looks forward to continuing to help implement the Presidentโ€™s National Security agenda,โ€ the Pentagon said in a statement Sunday confirming the appointment.
