Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate vote on the nomination with no intervening action or debate; that if confirmed, the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table; that the President be immediately notified of the Senate's action; that no further motions be in order; that any statements relating to the nomination be printed in the Record; and that the Senate then resume consideration of the Gingrich nomination. One modification, Mr. President. I am striking the portion of this unanimous consent request relating to the Gingrich nomination. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Is there further debate on the nomination? Hearing none, the question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the Quarles nomination? The nomination was confirmed. ____________________
