NRF Urges Senate to ‘Move Swiftly’ on McAleenan’s Nomination as CBP Head

The National Retail Federation wants the Senate to “move swiftly” to confirm Customs and Border Protection acting Commissioner Kevin McAleenan as the agency’s permanent head, said the group in a Thursday statement. With Senate Finance Committee's approval of McAleenan Thursday, NRF is “pleased to see” his nomination “finally moving through the process,” it said. “As major importers, retailers rely on CBP to facilitate legitimate commerce and enforce our trade laws, which is essential to our nation’s global competitiveness.”
