Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding the provisions of rule XXII, following the cloture vote on the Brownback nomination, the Senate proceed to the consideration of the following nomination: Executive Calendar No. 552. I ask 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; and that any statements relating to the nomination be printed in the Record, and the Senate resume consideration of the Brownback nomination. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
