Prior administrations[edit]
In prior administrations before 1993, the position of "senior advisor" was a title used for various other purposes.

For example, the Food and Drug Administration includes a position called the Senior Advisor for Science. The Department of the Interior includes, for example, a Senior Advisor for Alaskan Affairs.
