The commission submitted for the consideration of President Bush the names of Teresa A. Howie, 50, a veteran prosecutor in the U.S. attorney’s office in the District; Stuart Nash, 43, director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Program at the U.S. Department of Justice; and Maribeth Raffinan, 38, a supervising attorney in the trial division of the D.C.

Bush’s choice will fill an open position created by the retirement of Judge Rufus G. King III. Bush is expected to act before he leaves office Jan. 20.
