David Marventano, staff dir. of the House Commerce Committee, was named senior vp-govt. affairs of the Fluor Corp., an engineering and construction firm based in Cal. He had been considered a candidate for a position in the NAB Govt. Relations Dept. -- where the chief lobbyist position has been vacant since Jan. when Exec. Vp James May resigned to become pres. of the Air Transport Assn. (CD Jan 6 p9). NAB Senior Vp John Orlando, former CBS lobbyist and top aide to Rep. Dingell (D-Mich.), is acting chief lobbyist and considered a top candidate to succeed May. NAB Pres. Edward Fritts said in late April that a successor to May would be named by “mid-May.”
