President Bush's nominee to lead the Federal Highway Administration, J. Richard Capka, moved closer to confirmation after New Jersey's two Senators said they wouldn't block him. But Capka still faces hurdles before he's approved.
Sens. Frank Lautenberg and Robert Menendez, both Democrats, had put "holds" on Capka's nomination, because of a dispute between FHWA and the New Jersey Dept. of Transportation over multi-year funding.
