(This measure has not been amended since it was passed by the Senate on July 21, 2011. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Makes the incumbent Director on the date of enactment of this Act eligible to be appointed for such new term but only for such new term. Prohibits such incumbent from serving as Director after September 4, 2013. Exempts such incumbent from the prohibition against a Director serving more than one 10-year term.
