The White House announced Monday it was withdrawing the Decker nomination. Sources on background reported Decker had approached the White House to withdraw the nomination, but neither Decker nor the White House has yet confirmed this.

CUNA spokesman Pat Keefe also praised Decker's willingness to serve.
"We appreciate Ms. Decker's willingness to be considered, and respect her decision to withdraw. We look forward to providing the White House with any suggestions or insights it may request as the president looks for a new nominee," Keefe said.
NAFCU declined to comment on the nomination withdrawal.
