                           EXECUTIVE SESSION

                                 ______
                                 

 NOMINATION OF MARK A. WEINBERGER TO BE AN ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE 
                                TREASURY

  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, on behalf of the leadership, on the 
Executive Calendar, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate immediately 
proceed to executive session to consider the following nomination 
reported by the Finance Committee: Calendar No. 17, Mark Weinberger. I 
further ask unanimous consent that the nomination be confirmed, the 
motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, any statements relating to 
the nomination be printed in the Record, the President be immediately 
notified of the Senate's action, and the Senate then return to 
legislative session.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  Mr. REID. Reserving the right to object, Mr. President, I note for 
the record that the Democrats were ready to move on this yesterday. 
There was a problem on the other side. We are most happy to move this 
whenever the leader feels it appropriate. Therefore, I withdraw my 
reservation.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, the nomination 
is confirmed.
  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, let me be sure the minority whip 
understands that this is for Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. I 
thank the Senator for his cooperation.
