Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and nays on the pending nomination of Peter Gaynor to be the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The yeas and nays are ordered. The question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the Gaynor nomination? The yeas and nays were previously ordered. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk called the roll.
