I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. I might note this was a voice vote in committee and Senator Sessions did raise concerns in committee. So there was not a tally vote. No one requested a rollcall vote on the nominee. It was noncontroversial enough that no one wanted to go on record with a rollcall vote, but we wanted to be very transparent and did want to indicate for the record that Senator Sessions did raise concerns in committee about this nominee. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to executive session and consider Calendar No. 747, Ari Ne'eman, to be a member of the National Council on Disability. I ask unanimous consent that the nomination be confirmed, the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, no further motions be in order, and the President be immediately notified of the Senate's action, and that any statements be printed in the Record. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
