Obama also named two appointees to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom on Tuesday.

Both the ambassador-at-large position and the commission were established by the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act.

Obama nominated Felice Gaer, a current commission member, for another term, and named William Shaw, a past president of the National Baptist Convention and a Philadelphia-based pastor, to the commission.
