I wish to congratulate my friend, the chairman of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and the Senator from Texas, Kay Bailey Hutchison. They both worked very hard in a fair way to move forward on this. It has been good for the Senate. When we confirm this nomination, it will be good for the country. I don't think we will use all this time. I hope we can vote on this matter anywhere between 6:30 and 7:30 tonight, hopefully closer to 6:30. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from West Virginia.
