  Mr. HELMS. Mr. President, I am proceeding with the Executive

been cleared with the other side.

proceed to the immediate consideration of the following nominations on

bloc; that the motions to reconsider be laid upon the table en bloc; 
that any statements relating to the nominations appear at the 
appropriate place in the Record; and that the President be immediately 
notified of the Senate's action.
