Basically this is the American Minister of Information right? Or in other words, the President's Liar in Chief? Greg Grahame (talk) 20:41, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Acting by designation
Is it common practice to include ever official who has been acting Under Secretary (by designation), or are those details not pertinent to these lists? I see a bunch of gaps in dates on this list, so I am leaning to expect the former, but I am struggling to see what the precedent is. What exactly is the distinction between "acting by designation" and "acting" - I would assume that Congress doesn't approve "acting" but only the title itself, so I'm not clear on the separation here. Any guidance would be appreciated. --Engineerchange (talk) 09:45, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
