Mr. President, I want to thank my colleague. He is outstanding as a Senator and extraordinary as a public speaker. I thank him very much for really driving the message home. I am sure he would join me in adding our congratulations and…

I announce that the Senator from Vermont (Mr. Blumenthal), the Senator from Connecticut (Mr. Sanders), and the Senator from Vermont (Mr. Welch) are necessarily absent.

Mr. President, I know of no further debate on the nomination. The PRESIDING OFFICER. If there is no further debate, the question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the Long nomination?
