Madam President, I ask that we yield back all time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. All time is yielded back. The question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the nomination of Douglas Alan Silliman, of Texas, a Career Member of the Senior Foreign Service, Class of Minister-Counselor, to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the State of Kuwait? The nomination was confirmed.
