  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that following 
the 11:30 a.m. vote today, the nomination of Norman Mineta, to be 
Secretary of Transportation, be placed on the calendar. I further ask 
unanimous consent that the Senate immediately proceed to its 
consideration and a vote on the confirmation of the nomination. 
Finally, I ask unanimous consent that following the vote, the motion to 
reconsider be laid upon the table, the President be immediately 
notified of the Senate's action, and the Senate then resume legislative 
session.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. GRASSLEY. Therefore, Mr. President, I am announcing for the 
leader, there will then be two back-to-back votes beginning at 11:30 
a.m. today.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the yeas and nays be in 
order en bloc on both nominations.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. GRASSLEY. I now ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There appears to be.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
