      UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT --NOMINATION OF ROSEMARY BARKETT

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam President, we have now reached an agreement on 
the remaining nomination. I will now propound a unanimous consent 
request which has been cleared on both sides.
  Madam President, as if in executive session, I ask unanimous consent 
that on Thursday, April 14, at 9:30 a.m., the Senate proceed to 
executive session to consider the nomination of Rosemary Barkett to be 
U.S. Circuit Judge for the Eleventh Circuit; that there be 6 hours of 
debate, equally divided between the chairman and ranking member of the 
Committee on Judiciary or their designees; that when time is used or 
yielded back, the Senate, without any intervening action, vote on the 
nomination; and that, if confirmed, the motion to reconsider be tabled, 
and the President be immediately notified of the Senate's action.
  I further ask unanimous consent that the cloture motion on this 
nomination be withdrawn.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam President, I thank my colleagues for their 
cooperation in obtaining this agreement.
  Under this agreement, a vote will occur no later than 6 hours after 
the debate begins at 9:30 a.m., which will, of course, be 3:30 p.m.. 
Although Senators should be aware that it is possible that not all the 
time will be used; therefore, the vote may occur prior to 3:30 p.m. It 
will occur no later than 3:30 p.m., possibly prior to that if not all 
time is used.
