Mr. President, we are now considering the motion to proceed to the Stop Student Loan Interest Rate Hike Act. At 4:30 p.m. today, the Senate will proceed to executive session to consider three judicial nominations: the Nguyen nomination, a ninth circuit nominee, and the Baker and Lee nominations, which are two U.S. district court nominations from Arkansas and Illinois, respectively. At 5:30 p.m., there will be up to three rollcall votes on confirmation of the nominations. ____________________
