consent that immediately following the two cloture votes scheduled for 
5 p.m. today, and regardless of the outcome of those cloture votes, the 
Senate proceed to executive session for the consideration of Executive 
Calendar No. 210, the nomination of Maryanne Trump Barry to be the U.S. 
circuit judge for the Third Circuit. I further ask unanimous consent 
that the Senate immediately proceed to a vote on the confirmation of 
the nomination with no intervening action or debate. I finally ask 
consent that following that vote, the President be immediately notified 
of the Senate's action, and the Senate then return to legislative 
session.
